Entrevista
Don't interview here. It was an absolute waste of time. First off, they make you take a 70 min. LIVE PROCTORED exam (w/questions that also have nothing to do with any sort of real-world work, where presumably you cannot Google or open new windows like you would be able to on the job) which is incredibly ridiculous, and not something I've ever had to do interviewing for a company. Somehow I passed that, and had to do a FOUR AND A HALF HOUR onsite. There was a system design question, a ridiculous and incredibly stupid leetcode-style question that is not at all indicative of the actual work being done at Capital One and isn't a good way to determine what someone's actual programming ability is. They then ask you to do a "case study" question, and it isn't clear how pertinent that is to the role of a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. All this, only to get rejected. Not to mention the interviewers I had were not diverse at all. Almost all were men, almost all of the same background. Probably one of the most ridiculous interviewing experiences I've ever had.

Expecting a challenging experience, I found the interview at Capital One to be intense, particularly during the system design section. The question on designing a rate limiter with a token bucket algorithm took me by surprise; mid-way through the problem, I realized it was very similar to a drill I’d practiced on prachub.com just days earlier. The technical rounds included several DSA questions, and the interviewers were thorough but supportive. Ultimately, I received an offer and happily accepted, feeling well-prepared despite the pressure.

Scheduled a call with recruiter. Recruiter didnt show up for the screening call and cancelled it 5 mins after the scheduled time. Dropped a follow up email and got no response. After a week, I got an email from the recruiter stating I am selected for the next round i.e Assessment. Sent me an email with the assessment description but no link. When I sent a follow up email asking for the link, I got ghosted again. It was a bad experience. Felt like she is toying with me. Why ghost an applicant repetitively? Unprofessional recruiter who doesn't respect an applicant's time or efforts!
