Capital One Case Interview
Can anyone provide some insight on what capital one asks in the case interview for software engineers and how to prepare for it? #capitalone #softwareengineer #interview #case Also, if anyone knows if the tech interviews will be purely leetcode or if there will be other things asked, that would be helpful too. Thanks.
I did mine 3 weeks ago. (Still haven't heard back but also have never done a "power interview day" or these types of interviews). I read all up on glassdoor with their comments. Most everything on there is spot on. My interviewer was nice but was also looking for exact words or phrases which is good/bad in my opinion. I felt i did poorly on the case as i only hit a few key words that they wanted.
How are you so sure that the interviewer was looking for specific words or phrases? Did they mention anything to suggest this?
They definitely didn't suggest it. It was more of a work through the problem and once we hit the keyword we move onto the next area expanding on it or why that is so important. In a tech interview (sys design one not coding one) the interviewer said "ah you mentioned ___ which was a key word/ what we were looking for." The whole thing made it seem like they are given a menu and work down it trying to check off words/phrases. I could be way off of course, just how I felt. I enjoyed the process. 3 of the 4 interviewers we're very enjoyable to talk to while the 4th was more "robotic" and didn't care much but for answers. Still, a nice person though, just a different flavor.
