      Software Engineer Interview

      24 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      Look at the top review. They are going to ask you how to design a smart meter for multiple apartment buildings, then they are going to ask you 2sum closest to 0, then they are going to give you code and ask you to talk them through it, then they are going to give you a behavioral interview. Another thing: The people who interview you are not going to be the people you actually work with Oh, if you pass codesignal. You need something in the range of the 700s or higher, which is more forgiving than most companies that use codesignal Mini-rant: If you are going to ask everyone the same questions, then base your decision on whether or not they got the correct answer, then the people you hire are going to be the ones who memorized leetcode/glassdoor answers, not the ones who actually solve problems

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -Two sum closest to zero -System design interview for smart meter system -Interpretation of java code for imaginary chat ai that worked with an imaginary database -four codesignal questions to get to this point

      This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
