Entrevista
I was introduced to Capital One through a recruiter. Overall it was a wonderful process, very professional thought at times they definitely kept me waiting. From first conversation to offer letter was approximately 5 months.
I went through a total of 6 interviews, in addition to various discussions as well. My final and 6th interview was the "power day" where I went on-site at McLean for 2 behavioral and 2 job fit/technical rounds.
The interviews became increasingly more specific, the first 3 focused on general information and career pursuits/passion etc. After my 3rd interview I was given the option to complete an untimed take-home assignment. Upon completion I was scheduled a 4th interview with 2 engineers, talking about technologies and preferences. 5th was with my team lead, and 6th on-site.
My on-site visit was very pleasant, beautiful office, friendly staff. There were 4 interviews, each approximately 40 minutes. The 2 behavioral interviews were fun and typical STAR format questions. The 2 job fit/technical rounds were whiteboard challenges with difficulties similar to the easier problems in CTCI.
I told a few hours after the on-site that I got the job, from there negotiated compensation package, background check, then onboarding.
It was a very rewarding experience, the compensation package is competitive but DO YOUR RESEARCH so you can negotiate properly. I recommend ramit sethi youtube vids.

Power day style interview, two coding, one system design, one behavioral. Everyone was nice, but the interviewers seemed a little under prepared and/or new to interviewing in general. Questions where essentially leetcode medium/hard almost word for word.

Code assessment then to power day interview with 4 rounds. Overall the power day interviews were okay except for the case study. The interviewer was disengage while being on their phone the whole time. There was a part where the interviewer said fix the mistakes then went back to their phone. I pointed out their code has other errors with template and was ignored. Then while attempting to fix those (10 mins later) they mentioned to ignore that part and focus on the very bottom part of the code. What a waste of time and very unprofessional. This makes me wager a few of the interviewers probably could not pass their own interview process today.
