I had a very bad experience with Capital One interview process. Not sure whether it happened only to me or it happened to others but I wasted lot of time in following up and working on the test. I was contacted by recruiter after she reviewed my linkedin profile. I was very much interested in the role and accepted the invitation to chat. Had an initial call and it was decent information exchange. She told me that she will send an email with all the details regarding the position. She never sent any email. I was the one who was following up in the linkedin and she used to respond after many attempts and that too only with limited information. If asked for more again I have to follow up and need to wait for long time. I was frustrated but thought let me give few more tries because I liked the role. Finally she responded saying that there will be a call with one of the Director and there will be one programming test to be taken before the phone interview and onsite interview. I scheduled the call right away because I wasn't sure whether I will get a reply if I miss that chance :-) Director called me on the scheduled date and time and he was gauging my expertise and my work. The conversation went fine. Days passed by but no reply from the recruiter. I pinged in linkedin again for my status. Then I got a response after long wait saying that I need to take the programming test. I had to ask for feedback about the Director call. She said it went very well. I received an email about the programming test with a link to hackerrank. This test took long time as it was vague and need to understand the whole workflow. They had their own linux based platform inside the hackerrank setup. We have to use terminal to run the program. There were certain test scripts which read the text instructions and used to produce the output. To do outside in our local environment we need to setup and it will be tedious so I tried doing it in the terminal itself. The test had a time limit of 3 days and we need to complete by that time. I did in my leisure intervals and was able to complete it after learning few things and able to use based on the test instructions. I submitted the code and communicated the same to recruiter. I followed up several times but no reply from the recruiter. I was so much frustrated because I invested so much time to go through this process so I left following up again. Its been many weeks now and I haven't been contacted. Whether it is yes or no the candidate needs to be informed because we invest so much of our personal time and it needs to be respected. This is my personal experience so I can't comment on the actual interview process. May be I got into wrong hands. Just wanted to share it so that if you happen to have the same experience please don't follow up like what I did and waste your time.

For a senior manager position, the interviews were leaning more towards hand-on coding than average. Definitely need to brush up on coding skills if you want to do well on these EM interviews. There was also a design system question on virtual credit cards.
