Capital One has a good process for screening and interviewing candidates. I thought the process was fair and challenging. If you are good at what you do, the interview is not too hard to crack.

The process involved a couple of screening rounds with recruiters at Capital One. This was followed by a challenging but interesting HackerRank test. I was able to solve the tests but had trouble clearing two test cases on one specific problem. They got back pretty quickly with great results and set up a very well-planned and structured next set of interviews.

First was the behavioral round, which had typical behavioral questions. The technical round that followed had you present your technical skills (which I personally think is the best way to showcase your strengths). Throughout the presentation, relevant questions were asked. Then, they discussed the HackerRank test and also posed some interesting challenges based on how you structured your code. The interviewers definitely had very good knowledge, and the questions they asked were practical and made you think. I have attended interviews with other companies and get a little put off when the interviewer starts asking bookish questions. This interview was nothing like that.

After these rounds, the recruiter was in touch constantly and kept providing feedback on how things were progressing and what was pending.

Overall, I was super impressed. Every step was well-planned and handled very professionally.
