I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Feb 2022
Interview
I applied for practice purposes before FAANG interview. If you want to work here, you can memorize the answer. all questions exist in glassdoor. Interviewers seem friendly but all process is not professional nor structural.
-Code Signal 4 question but solving the first 2 questions is enough to pass it. You can take practice taking everyday before your online assessment. They are not exactly same but it gives an idea. The First 2 questions are really easy. 3. and 4th can be challenging. but they don't expect you to solve it.
PowerDay
1. Design Round: the typical question exist here.
It was a weird interview. One of the interview was sitting in a reclining position. He was too lazy to answer the questions. Sometimes I couldn't here what he said.
2. Coding Round: LeetCode easy
One of the interviewers has a strong Indian accent. He only reads the question. I asked questions to clarify it but he didn't direct me correctly. I understood the real question in the middle of the interview. If they copied pasted the question on the Codesignal, it would be much easier to understand for me.
3. Behaviroul
No issues here. He is also Indian but he was so much helpful. He repeated questions 2 times. Explained the star structure etc. Questions are typical behaviour questions. Conflict with team member.
Time you had changing requirements to project and how did you handle it?
4. Case Round. The totally unnecessary part.
The time was the end of the day. She was in the mood of complete the interview and go. She was also taking care of kid. I don't mind. it is ok we are all work from home but when I asked the question, I guess she missed or didn't understand correctly. She was destructed, tired and trying to speed up . Copied pasted lots of code blocks. She asked questions what is the output kind of questions. It is not difficult but the interviewer structure making hard to follow and understand what does she want. They can prepare more structured environment for those questions.
Overall my observation is that this interview is great preparation for faang interviews. It is a free mock interview. Other than, I wouldn't want to work there. Salary is also average or under average.

Interview
Applied and heard back from a recruiter a few days later. Asked to take a online assessment through CodeSignal, where you have 4 questions to do in 70mins overall it wasnt that bad I think they were (easy-easy-med/hard-hard).
After passing the assessment you are invited to their Power Day which is an all day interview and its pretty tiring consisting of a technical interview, a system design interview, a case study, and a behavioral. Everyone I met with was extremely nice and professional.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to work with a co worker you did not get along with?
Standard tech interview process: automated coding screen with four tasks, followed by a day of onsites which consisted of:data structures, algorithms, systems design, behavioral. Not too hard. Very pleasant interviewers. Overall smooth process, and quick.
