A recruiter reached out to me for a management position that apparently had been a difficult one to fill. I had 2 or 3 phone screens before an in-person interview. The phone screens were quite positive but the in-person component was a complete waste of time. I took a PTO from my job and traveled into San Francisco for the day. The situational interview was over video conference where the audio was so bad that I could not hear most of the words. After the recruiter fumbled with the system for about 20 minutes I finally had to say that it was good enough as I didn't want to have my time run out (after the interviewer was about 10 minutes late for the assigned time slot). One of the "technical interview" components actually started with the fellow saying that he didn't usually like to ask technical questions. Sure enough he didn't ask any technical questions minus getting me to describe my current role and there were no markers available even though there was a nice white board in the room. The facility (San Francisco) is very nice but almost completely empty and it had a very strange feel to it. The internal recruiter (quite junior in my opinion) left me alone several times and I attempted to talk (where is the garbage can? how does the coffee machine work? etc) to a few people that I saw. They definitely did not come off as outgoing/pleasant people. The craziest part was that the primary recruiter called to tell me that I didn't get the job but he didn't have any detailed feedback for me. Apparently the video conference interviewer said that I was borderline (I wonder which answer wasn't acceptable after not being able to hear most of his questions) and the technical interviewer said that I wasn't technical enough (after not asking any technical questions???). I fully understand that sometimes you do well on an interview and other times you do not. I'm usually very laid-back about interview experiences as seldom they are perfect. In this case, I really feel that Capital One completely wasted my time and I encourage others to go in with eyes wide open if they are invited to a Capital One interview. There is a high-likelihood that some of the positions do not actually exist but routinely interviewing candidates is a requirement in order to promote internal or to satisfy well-known visa/work requirements.

Robotic process and hiring manager was not involved in the interview process. First was coding interview on codesignal. Codesignal has a practical test feature you can use to familiarize yourself with it. It's very close to the real test, though difficulty levels might differ.
