Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One en mar 2026
Entrevista
Recruiter reached out and had a call, proceeded with an OA and finished with perfect score. And was rejected the next day and I tried contacting recruiter and got the feedback of my OA wasn't meeting expectations. Perfect score but also doesn't meet expectations???

Standard DSA Online Assessment timed and proctored
Was not too difficult. three total interviews all on the same day back to back. technical one, behavioral one and a case which was more of just a debugging question
Expecting a challenging experience, I found the interview at Capital One to be intense, particularly during the system design section. The question on designing a rate limiter with a token bucket algorithm took me by surprise; mid-way through the problem, I realized it was very similar to a drill I’d practiced on prachub.com just days earlier. The technical rounds included several DSA questions, and the interviewers were thorough but supportive. Ultimately, I received an offer and happily accepted, feeling well-prepared despite the pressure.
