J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (Richmond, VA)
Entretien
This is an a 8 hour, full day interview that has no bearing on the skills needed for this position. You will be evaluated on your ability to survive several case studies (including one which requires substantial work ahead of time), in the manner of a full-on consulting firm, which Capital One is not. Further, be aware that this interview will cover areas outside of your skill set, most likely not in your field, and also likely not anything you would be doing in the job described. The entire process is like a little self-sustaining industry, and I don't understand what the purpose is - nothing I did or saw on that day had anything to do with the job I was applying for.

Question 1
Solve this case study with math skills you don't have, using concepts you don't know, none of which you need to do this job. OK?

Estoy apenas recibiendo la propuesta de agenda para la entrevista, todo de una manera muy respetuosa y con mucha comunicación entre ambas partes, atendiendo cualquier incidencia que pueda darse, ajustes y entendimientos entre los participantes en la entrevista.

First round: 4 questions on an automated coding platform. First two were relatively easy and last 2 were difficult. Would suggest not prematurely optimizing.
Second round: 4 interviews on one day ("power day").

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (McLean, VA) en mars 2026

Extremely disappointed. TLDR: 2/4 interviewers didn't know their questions and didn't even know Python (it was a Python coding round). They asked to rewrite the code in pseudo code and rewrite it using their logic. Thus, waste of time on 2/3 questions without being able to jump to the next one.
Another interviewer didn't know what a blob storage (s3) is and the the half of our system design round turned into SysDes 101 session where I explained the basics and he tried to show his interest (he didn't even look at the screen).
And at the end the recruited tried to sell me the Senior offer (huge cut). No thanks
