Uninspired, but surprisingly savvy
Uninspired, but surprisingly savvy
Capital One fashions itself as a tech company that also does banking. This is corporate propaganda, but there's some truth to it. Their migration to the cloud is impressive for an institution so subject to regulatory scrutiny. Working for them feels a lot more like working for a tech startup than IBM in many ways.
It's a big, boring company.
Middle management seems like an early death.
HR is rigid and bureaucratic.
All the social events are cringey.

Easy, one case, one behavioral, one technical interview. By far the easiest interview I ever had. Normal behavioral questions, and for the case, just think from a business standpoint. Prep LeetCode Easy for the technical.

Easy. Four rounds. 1. Behavioral. 2. Coding. 3. A “technical business” discussion. 4. A system design round based on resume and experience. Interviewers were nice and fair. The recruiter was very pushy and didn’t give me time to decide on the offer
