Recruiter was delightful but expect an automated rejection after a lengthy portfolio review with no feedback. I can confidently say I was over qualified for the role and did well on the interview. However, I received a canned response the morning after. Recruiter was reassuring but ultimately did not provide feedback
Phone screen, case study with design recruiter, Power day with 3 people (a whiteboard challenge, behavioral interview, technical, and technical). The behavioral was typical questions, technical was strictly questions like “tell me about a time when…”

Question 1
Tell me about a time you resolved conflict at work
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Feb 2025
Interview
Initial phone screen with recruiter, followed by a 1 hour portfolio review with a design manager. Last round was a virtual power day meeting with different team members but I didn't make it to that round. After my portfolio review the recruiter reached out within 24 hours saying they wanted to move me forward for final round, and then essentially ghosted for weeks because they didn't have a specific team ready to hire. The process seems disjointed and they lead candidates on/waste their time. After following up over the course of months, they kept telling me they were super interested in me but didn't have the right position open yet and never reached back out about my final round. Overall came across as sort of unprofessional/unorganized.
