Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Capital One (McLean, VA) nel mese di feb 2021
Colloquio
This was the second time a cap1 recruiter reached out to me after applying (the first time I was ghosted after an intial discussion with the recruiter).
First step was an online assessment which consisted of two leetcode easy or medium level questions. They gave plenty of time to solve the questions.
Second step was called "power day" and for me it was 4 back to back zoom interviews with different people. there were 2 technical interviews, 1 case study interview, and 1 behavioral interview. For technical, just prep with leetcode. Case study was a little strange, but just be prepared to do a little bit of easy math and reason through a somewhat open ended question. They just want to see how you think.
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
