I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Sep 2025
Interview
I was referred by a friend. Whole process took a few months. Tech screen was through an automated site called CodeSignal. This was followed by a "Power Day" (4 hrs of interviews): Technical, System Design, Creative Problem Solving, Behavioral.
I passed the interview and was waiting for team-match, which never happened. After a few months, I was notified that they didn't have any open roles and to try again in the Spring.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a system that can handle banking transactions (transfers and payments) at scale. Focus on fault-tolerance and strong consistency. How can you make the system highly available.
First had to pass an OA on codesignal.
Recruiter then scheduled a Power Day interview virtually:
1 Case interview -
1 Behavioral interview -
1 System design -
1 Technical
Questions are pretty standard and not too diffucult. Interviewers were friendly.

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").
