Don't interview here. It was an absolute waste of time.

First off, they make you take a 70-minute, live, proctored exam. The questions had nothing to do with real-world work, where presumably you cannot Google or open new windows like you would be able to on the job. This was incredibly ridiculous and not something I've ever had to do when interviewing for a company.

Somehow, I passed that and then had to do a four-and-a-half-hour onsite interview. This included:

• A system design question.
• A ridiculous and incredibly stupid LeetCode-style question that is not at all indicative of the actual work being done at Capital One and isn't a good way to determine someone's actual programming ability.
• A "case study" question, and it isn't clear how pertinent that is to the role of a software developer.

All this, only to get rejected.

Not to mention, the interviewers I had were not diverse at all. Almost all were men, almost all of the same background. This was probably one of the most ridiculous interviewing experiences I've ever had.

The interview included:

• One system design question
• Behavioral questions
• One LeetCode-style string processing question
• A case study question
