J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (New York, NY) en sept. 2018
Entretien
Was referred by a previous boss
Started with a phone call from recruiter explaining culture and job specs.
Then did a phone technical interview with a senior manager I had a great convo with him.
Then a 6 hour in person interview with 1 hour lunch break. I had a behavioral, case interview and 2 technical interviews.
All went well and actually the reason why I’m writing this review is I was getting an offer till they submitted my app and they knew I didn’t have a degree but my 3+ experience made it through all the interview questions and everyone loved me according to the recruiter plus I was a referral.
But they could not give me the offer because of corporate structure. Capital one is a bank but they pride them selves on being more of a tech company. If google and Facebook hire non degree employees why can’t you ?
Long story short I loved everyone that I interviewed with and enjoyed the whole process and was looking forward to joining the team. I’m just very sad that was blocked by old mentality and old corporate bank structure.

Entretien
Interviewed for an engineer position, the interview was a joke. Asked basic OOP question with a few follow ups - no system design portion. Interviewer was very laid back and chill, didn't take it to seriously.
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.
