I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Aug 2025
Interview
Started with initial code assessment, looks like autogenerated by the system. I was able to get 2 correct, 1 attempted and 1 too hard to attempt(4 in total). Followed by a call with recruiter to setup next round of interviews. Totally there were five interviews. In-person coding interview, 2 behavioral, 1 technical case interview and 1 Design and Architecture. All interviews are an hour each with 10 mins at the end to ask questions to the interviewer. During behavioral, interviewer would take notes all the time to capture your response.
Overall experience was neutral. As I felt it all depends on the interviewer taking the interview from other end with his background and skills to match yours. Recently, technical landscape has widened. If you are skilled in application development and if you are getting an interviewer with infrastructure background then naturally you will not be able to impress with the details you give. Expect few minutes delay in them(interviewer) joining the call.

First HR interview. Then Online Test which was more analytical and behavior. Got confirmation that I cleared online test and they would inform on next steps. After a week I got a email that the position is closed, and I am not considered anymore. Very upset as it was waste of time.
