Software Engineer Interview Experience - Plano, Texas
Process
First Round: On campus at my university, 30-45 minute behavioral interview.
My interviewer was friendly. She asked what position within the technology development program I would be interested in and asked some typical behavioral questions concerning conflict resolution and learning from mistakes.
Second/Final Round: On site in Plano, 3-hour-long interviews before lunch with one one-hour break in between.
- Interview 1: Job Fit/Technical (3 Questions)
- Interview 2: Case Study (1 Question)
- Interview 3: Behavioral (3 Questions)
Each of my interviews here were one-on-one, and my interviewers were very kind and willing to offer advice at any point in the problem-solving process when needed. I ate free lunch in the on-site cafeteria with some other potential hires and an engineering employee. After lunch was finished, I spoke to my recruiter, who proceeded to offer me a job. I had a great overall interview experience with Capital One.

Capital One Work Experiences
- 5.0Great People CompanySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeePlano, Texas, United StatesDecember 28, 2021Pros: Competitive salary. Cares about their workers and the people they serve. Great start for those fresh out of college or making a career change (after doing junior dev work). Cares about what you learn and how you advance as an individual because they want the best individuals.Cons: They pride themselves on being disruptive as a company, which means they often try new things and lead themselves into new places. This is great as it allows you to expand your learning. But at times, you go down dead ends, and during transitions, you can feel a bit rudderless. But it’s a necessary part of business, in my opinion.
