Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró más de 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (New York, NY) en sept 2018
Entrevista
Was referred by a previous boss
Started with a phone call from recruiter explaining culture and job specs.
Then did a phone technical interview with a senior manager I had a great convo with him.
Then a 6 hour in person interview with 1 hour lunch break. I had a behavioral, case interview and 2 technical interviews.
All went well and actually the reason why I’m writing this review is I was getting an offer till they submitted my app and they knew I didn’t have a degree but my 3+ experience made it through all the interview questions and everyone loved me according to the recruiter plus I was a referral.
But they could not give me the offer because of corporate structure. Capital one is a bank but they pride them selves on being more of a tech company. If google and Facebook hire non degree employees why can’t you ?
Long story short I loved everyone that I interviewed with and enjoyed the whole process and was looking forward to joining the team. I’m just very sad that was blocked by old mentality and old corporate bank structure.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
Write a method that returns all primes numbers under a number passed in and split it out to an API.
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.
