Senior Manager, Java Interview Experience - Richmond, Virginia
Process
First Contact - General Screening with HR.
First Round - Hiring Manager Technical Phone Interview.
Third Round - Second Technical Phone Interview.
After the third round, I received a vague reply.
"Thank you for your interest in Capital One. I did receive feedback on your 2nd technical phone interview this week and unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with your candidacy at this time. The team thought you had some really good experience, but some of your experience was not relevant to the position they are looking to fill. I am sorry that this opportunity did not work out for you. If any other, more appropriate opportunities become available, I will certainly contact you."
I had two other interviews with the same company with similar experience.
I got the general feeling that these interviews are for their H1B / Green Card process.
Even James Gosling would flunk their Java skill test.

Capital One Work Experiences
- 5.0Capital One software engineerSoftware Associate • Current EmployeeRichmond, Virginia, United StatesDecember 14, 2021Pros: Very flexible, great culture, lots of benefits, and a good salary.Cons: Sometimes you have to be on call late at night.
- 3.0Was great, not anymoreAssociate Senior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeRichmond, Virginia, United StatesFebruary 7, 2024Pros: Decent pay, decent work-life balance.Cons: A lot of new leadership from Amazon came in, and it brought a lot of toxicity over.
- 2.0Beware if Neurodivergent/Disabled and/or TransSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeRichmond, Virginia, United StatesMay 16, 2023Pros: The pay, I guess, was fine.Cons: They preach DIB, yet when I was facing issues as a nonbinary person such as being misgendered by coworkers, the solutions offered were inadequate. They essentially offered for people who weren't nonbinary to explain my pronouns for me. No thank you. Not to mention I fought for years for gender free bathrooms only to get 1 in a campus of 12+ buildings that are constantly being remodeled. Far from adequate. When I became depressed and was having a difficult time because of it at work, their offerings were again inadequate. They offered time off, aka time to think which is something I didn't need, and online counseling resources even though I already am in regular therapy and psychiatry appointments. In short, their "help" offered was insulting. Finally, I was promised on several occasions that I would not go back into the office only to be told later that I had to go in and was unlikely to get an exception even though the mere thought of going in was causing me panic attacks. Live outside of a 50 mile radius from the office? Fine. Severe mental illness considered disabilities causing you to dread going in to the office? Too bad. It was incredibly hurtful after almost 8 years of working for them to be told to essentially get over my PTSD/anxiety/depression and suck it up or be fired for failing to come in to the office.
