I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Apr 2019
Interview
The hiring process was pretty straight forward. I applied online through a link we all got in college for the TDP program and then a few days later, a recruiter talked to me to schedule an on-site interview. So this was my first interview (in life) and it had 3 parts- Technical, behavioral and case. I was asked an OOP question (pretty straightforward) and a binary tree pruning problem in my technical round. I freaked out but the interviewer still helped me out. The behavioral is pretty standard and the case isn’t too bad either. Overall I didn’t get an offer but I am planning on applying again in 6 months, great interview experience.

Binary tree pruning
Design a credit card system (OOP)
Explain sth technical to a nontechnical person.
Tel me about a project you’re most proud of.
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
