The process was fairly straightforward and streamlined:

• Recruiter screen
• One-hour coding challenge on CodeSignal
• "Onsite" interviews (four different one-hour interviews, also called "Power Day")

My score on CodeSignal wasn't great, but I evidently did enough on the questions I didn't submit in time to move on to the onsite interviews.

The recruiter was very helpful, responsive, and transparent in preparing me for the Power Day interviews. The YouTube videos on Capital One case study questions and behavioral questions were helpful.

The actual Power Day was a bit tough, as it ran from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. PT. I definitely underperformed on the first interview, which happened to be live coding, but I did well on the rest. Nothing was super challenging; I just did my best to vocalize my thought process and consider multiple options when dealing with ambiguous questions.

The process after passing the onsite interview until I passed the background check actually took longer than the code screen plus the onsite, but overall, it was still a fairly quick process.

1. Recruiter screen: Went over experience and confirmed that I met the hard requirements for the role.

2. CodeSignal coding questions: Included questions similar to ones on LeetCode (2 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard). You do not need to do the questions in order.

3. "Power Day" onsite interviews: Included a live coding session, a system design interview, a behavioral interview, and a case study.
