      Research Scientist Interview

      10 Dec 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Dec 2020

      Interview

      - I had four rounds of interview: 2 technical, 1 case study, 1 behavior study. Each round took one hour. - Case and behavior rounds are easy, very similar to what the others have described. - For the technical interview, the interviewer first asked you to introduce a little bit about yourself (5 mins), then had a discuss about how to solve a problem (probably what they are facing now). After having some discussions of the problem (15-20 mins), you needed to finish a coding test (10-15 mins). For the two rounds I had, one asked me to use a coding website, one asked me to open a notepad to write the code there. The notepad is not very user-friendly and it took me a few minutes to communicate with the interviewer to understand the problem. And after another 5 minutes, the interviewer interrupted me saying that she preferred to leave some time for me to ask her some questions... - This position I interviewed is "Research Scientist", they didn't give me opportunities to talk about my research, although I listed a top Artificial Intelligence paper on my resume which I think is very relevant to what they are doing. For the whole interview process, I don't think they carefully checked your resume, they just ask what they want to ask. - After two days, I first received an email saying that the HR wanted to have a call next day. And she called and spent 1 minute telling me that I didn't get the job.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      For technical interviews, the coding tests are Leetcode easy and medium level. Case study is to check and revise a decision tree and how to report it to a manager.
