I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One in Sep 2025
Interview
Was contacted by an, "experienced senior recruiter," Akshi A. Mahendru, about a developer position. Followed up properly, but then was ghosted. Sick of all the ghosting from recruiters. Lay all these incompetent HR people off and hire people who can act professionally, instead, Capital One. I am professional when applying, so why can't recruiters be, too? I will not seek employment at Capital One again in the future.

Question 1
1 Case interview - This one's unique. Have some product perspective to evaluate benefits/cons. Be prepared to evaluate logic based questions.
1 Behavioral interview - Pretty generic "Tell me about a time when.."
1 System design - Generic Design XYZ
1 Technical - Leetcode Mediums
Estoy apenas recibiendo la propuesta de agenda para la entrevista, todo de una manera muy respetuosa y con mucha comunicación entre ambas partes, atendiendo cualquier incidencia que pueda darse, ajustes y entendimientos entre los participantes en la entrevista.
First round: 4 questions on an automated coding platform. First two were relatively easy and last 2 were difficult. Would suggest not prematurely optimizing.
Second round: 4 interviews on one day ("power day").
