I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Virginia Beach, VA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Great recruiter. Always on the lookout to help. Interview consisted of behavioral, case, and technical interview phases. Consider practicing the STAR method for behavioral interview. Practice linked list and trees.

- Tell me about a time when you had to overcome opposition to implement a solution.

- Describe a time you learned something new to achieve a goal.

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.
