Process

OA into virtual onsite.

On-site consisted of 4 interviews:

  • First was system design
  • Second was an OOP problem
  • Third was behavioral
  • Fourth was a special interview type that Capital One does

I did well except for the special Capital One interview which I bombed.

Questions

Design a banking system (System design).
