Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

The interview process included:
- Phone screen with an engineer
- Phone screen with an engineer manager
- Remote technical interview with an engineer manager (video chat)
- On-site half-day interview: 60% technical questions, 40% behavioral questions.
There was a minor organizational issue as I received an automated email from their recruiting system stating the position had been closed. I initially believed this was a rejection and did not follow up for a month. Upon checking back, I was informed I simply needed to reapply.

Capital One also has the funds to move in that direction and has an overall good company vision. The overall work environment was also inviting and balanced.Cons: Unfortunately, the implementation of the technology bank vision is poor. The company is wasting money hiring way too many engineers at a low bar. These engineers are then managed by non-technical managers for projects that are then randomly killed with poor leadership synchronization.
