I was contacted by a recruiter to apply to Capital One.

I passed the online code challenge and was asked to do a "power day" with four one-hour interviews.

The questions asked were pretty normal, but the interviewers seemed disengaged and not well-trained in interviewing.

As a woman in tech, being interviewed by six men with similar personalities who are all lacking soft skills, I can't help but feel like diversity and gender equality are not very important to the engineering side of the company.

In the behavioral interview, the interviewer asked me to format my answers in the classic "situation, behavior, impact" format so that he could fill out the rubric he was provided.

He then spent 10 minutes in between each question typing out my responses and then looking over his notes while I sat there silently.
