I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA)
Interview
This is for the 3 hour powerday.
Technical Interview: Basically given an JSON object type thing (ArrayList<>>] and needed to parse the information into hashmaps. Then, was asked to return the top K elements (similar to Leetcode problem) from the data I parsed.
Behavioral: Brief Intro and then jumped into 3 standard tell me about a time questions and a few follow ups to each of my responses. Questions were:
A time when u challenged the status quo?
A time when you learned something new?
Can't remember the third
Case: Interviewer presented a scenario and you have to give your thoughts and opinions about it. Just think of it as a back and forth discussion with your interviewer. My scenario was based on a chatbot. Then, moved on to the actual technical portion. Interviewer pasted a bunch of code and gave me a few minutes to read and understand the code. From there, I was asked to explain it and give any suggestions to refactor it to make it better. The rest of the time was just modifying the code to a specific scenario he gave.
OA first. then a virtual job tryout followed by a super day that included coding and a case. relatively simple, leetcode easy/medium, cared more about thought process and problem solving skills

Interview
There is a Codecignal OA which is the hardest part of the interview. I am pretty sure you don't need a perfect score. With the OA, there are also situational behavioral questions. After the OA, you will have a power day, which consists of behavioral, coding, and case interviews. The coding question is more about design and I think it is much easier than a leetcode-style question. The behavioral is standard and nothing surprising. The case interview I had was about the cloud, but you don't really need much experience with the cloud. There was a table that showed the price of different VMs, and you have to decide which is the most cost-effective. You are then given a piece of code, and you have to find issues with it and resolve the issues that are present in the code.
