Good pay and benefits. Offices have good amenities.
Frequent reorgs and business changes.

I was contacted by a recruiter to apply to Capital One. I passed the online code challenge and was asked to do a "power day" with four one-hour interviews. The questions asked were pretty normal, but the interviewers seemed disengaged and not well-
First round: 70-minute at-home CodeSignal test. 4 coding questions (easy-medium LeetCode). Second round: Power Day (in-person/Zoom interview). 1 coding, 1 system design, 1 behavioral, 1 case study. Four hours total.
After passing the code challenge, I completed Power Day, which included a code challenge, system design, case study, and behavioral interview. I passed the interview but was in team matching for more than four months. Ultimately, I was rejected.
