      Director, Software Engineering Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One

      Interview

      Phone screening with the recruiter, 2 phone interviews with 2 other directors, than they flew me to Chicago for the onsite. Onsite interviews with 1 manager and 3 other directors. They were all saying how they want to hire innovative people, they are not a bank but a technology company "like Silicon Valley type environment"....And than they give you a pencil and sheet of paper and ask you to solve a business use case. Although the solution was correct the interviewer did not appreaciate out of the box thinking or jumping to conclusions....so stick with the video guide. It looks like the want to hire more herd mentality than innovators and leaders. Overall, very dry and disappointing, no tour of the facility, no overview of projects or vision....why do I want to work here again?
