J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (McLean, VA) en oct. 2016
Entretien
Applied online, and contacted by campus recruiter. Was set up with a day of interviews (one of each: behavioral, technical, and case). Behavior questions were very standard teamwork questions. Technical interview included how to implement a messaging system, reverse a linked list, etc. Technical interview was done on paper, and you could choose which language to write in (syntax did not have to be perfect, they mainly cared about your thought process and algorithm). Case interview was mostly dealing with numbers and finding out if a product was producing revenue. Received a call back within a week.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Describe a time you encountered a problem with a team project, and how did you handle it?
Was not too difficult. three total interviews all on the same day back to back. technical one, behavioral one and a case which was more of just a debugging question
Expecting a challenging experience, I found the interview at Capital One to be intense, particularly during the system design section. The question on designing a rate limiter with a token bucket algorithm took me by surprise; mid-way through the problem, I realized it was very similar to a drill I’d practiced on prachub.com just days earlier. The technical rounds included several DSA questions, and the interviewers were thorough but supportive. Ultimately, I received an offer and happily accepted, feeling well-prepared despite the pressure.

Question 1
Design a rate limiter using a token bucket algorithm and discuss how it would handle bursty traffic and distributed deployments.
Recruiter screening to begin with. Then, technical discussion about java, spring boot, design pattern, small coding tasks and followed by design assessment for distributed systems. Finally, managerial round for the team fit
