      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Capital One (Tysons Corner, VA) in Jun 2016

      Interview

      Brief email exchange with recruiter about position and my expectations (salary). Multi-hour online code test to determine your programming skills. If you pass that, there is a technical phone screen. If you pass that they will bring you in for an on-site with 4 round of interviews. For me it was two behavioral, one job fit, one skills assessment. There were no real technical questions asked on the onsite it was more so going over my past and talking about it. The most frustrating part of the whole process is I kill the interviews start to finish and am offered a position but they totally ignored the initial discussion about current and expected compensation. Nice guys, but they have rigorous pay bands, ensure you are OKAY with what they offer before wasting your time applying.

      Interview

      Multi-part interview. Big parts are two case interviews, a job fit interview, and a behavioral interview. There is also an initial screening with the recruiter and hiring manager. The case interviews are pass/fail so study for those.

      Interview

      Initial phone interview was great. Actual interview was subpar. Interviewer had unkind attitude and seems like she just views interviewees as another line item under their wing. Did not seem like a team
