Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - McLean, Virginia
Process
Online coding assessment:
- 4 questions
- 70 minutes
- 2 LeetCode Easy, 1 Medium, 1 Hard
If you pass, Power Day:
- 4 hours
- 3 interviews: behavioral, case, technical
Received an email after 2 days and set up a call with my recruiter for the next day. The recruiter called and presented the offer.
Questions
Case: Kinda weird, a general problem related to Capital One with a little bit of reading code (minimal writing code).
Technical: The first one was an easy OOP question. The second was a LeetCode hard about reversing groups of k elements in a linked list, then moving the groups around within the list.
Behavioral: Three standard "tell me about a time" questions.
