Software Engineer Interview Experience - McLean, Virginia

April 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Initially, there was a HackerRank coding quiz that consisted of two questions testing problem-solving abilities.

However, after passing the quiz, I had an interview with a hiring manager that I can only describe as bizarre.

The questions raised some red flags for me, and even if I had received an offer, I would have declined it.

I have serious concerns about Capital One management if this interview is indicative of the software engineering management team.

Questions
