I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Met at campus career fair, invited to a networking event and then on-campus interviews. The whole process took about 2-3 weeks. Coding questions were pretty easy and the case study was not business related, just had to basically improve existing code. The interview really wants to hammer down on STAR process.
Surprisingly manageable — the interview felt more like a conversation than an interrogation. It began with a sequence of coding questions, including one on merging overlapping intervals. The real challenge came during system design, where I had to outline a URL shortener service that could scale impressively. Interestingly, I had just looked at a similar architecture on PracHub, which helped me articulate my thoughts clearly. The technical questions wrapped up with validating a binary search tree, and I ended with a positive vibe. I received an offer, but ultimately chose to decline it.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Merge overlapping intervals from a list of time ranges
Interviewed for an engineer position, the interview was a joke. Asked basic OOP question with a few follow ups - no system design portion. Interviewer was very laid back and chill, didn't take it to seriously.
Was not too difficult. three total interviews all on the same day back to back. technical one, behavioral one and a case which was more of just a debugging question
