Process
Do not trust the recruiters. If they reach out to you, do not respond. They will jeopardize any of your opportunities to apply at Capital One again, regardless of the city. They will lie to you about the coding challenges only taking about 30 minutes to complete; it takes much longer than that. They will lie to you about wanting to keep your information on file for other opportunities if they do not proceed further. Apply on your own; do not use them if they reach out. It's just a trap to fill their quota so they can get paid. They are not looking for the best. They are looking for anyone to exploit to meet their quota and hinder any future potential opportunities.
