Lead Data Engineer Interview Experience - Vienna, Virginia
Process
I would rather be unemployed than interview with Capital One ever again.
The team that interviewed failed to ask difficult questions that would have helped me evaluate better. They had a closed mind and didn't give me any benefit of doubt. They didn't want to consider anything else other than the 45 minutes each person spent with me.
If you are the interviewer, you get to wear judgmental pants and be lazy in evaluating others.
Questions
No in-depth questions.
Just questions about my last two projects.
