Never ever ever ever will interview with them ever again. They reached out to me, saw my resume, there was a phone screen, take home tech assessment which I passed, then a 4.5 hour “power day” interview with a diagram design, then a live coding session which I passed, then a case study interview, then a behavioral interview. I wonder if the CEO even went under as much scrutiny. All of that and then they email me and say sorry we’re not moving forward. My advice is refuse to do any coding unless they pay you for your time, the amount of mine they wasted was absolutely dispicable.

Estoy apenas recibiendo la propuesta de agenda para la entrevista, todo de una manera muy respetuosa y con mucha comunicación entre ambas partes, atendiendo cualquier incidencia que pueda darse, ajustes y entendimientos entre los participantes en la entrevista.

First round: 4 questions on an automated coding platform. First two were relatively easy and last 2 were difficult. Would suggest not prematurely optimizing.
Second round: 4 interviews on one day ("power day").

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Capital One (McLean, VA) nel mese di mar 2026

Extremely disappointed. TLDR: 2/4 interviewers didn't know their questions and didn't even know Python (it was a Python coding round). They asked to rewrite the code in pseudo code and rewrite it using their logic. Thus, waste of time on 2/3 questions without being able to jump to the next one.
Another interviewer didn't know what a blob storage (s3) is and the the half of our system design round turned into SysDes 101 session where I explained the basics and he tried to show his interest (he didn't even look at the screen).
And at the end the recruited tried to sell me the Senior offer (huge cut). No thanks
