J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (Toronto, ON) en janv. 2017
Entretien
(Skype interview) A recruiter contacted me and had me complete a coding assignment a few days prior to the interview. This code was used as a the basis for the technical half of the interview. They ask you to go over your approach to solving the problem, any assumptions you made, how you tested it, etc... After explaining the code line by line my interviewer asked me how it would operate under a different data structure and with alternative inputs. It was all fairly straightforward. The second half of the interview consisted of a job fit in which they just want to learn more about you and your motives.

Question 1
In regards to a specific project from my portfolio: "Describe the framework that you used and describe your design process".
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.

Question 1
Design a rate limiter using a token bucket algorithm and discuss how it would handle bursty traffic and distributed deployments.
Recruiter screening to begin with. Then, technical discussion about java, spring boot, design pattern, small coding tasks and followed by design assessment for distributed systems. Finally, managerial round for the team fit

Scheduled a call with recruiter. Recruiter didnt show up for the screening call and cancelled it 5 mins after the scheduled time. Dropped a follow up email and got no response. After a week, I got an email from the recruiter stating I am selected for the next round i.e Assessment. Sent me an email with the assessment description but no link. When I sent a follow up email asking for the link, I got ghosted again. It was a bad experience. Felt like she is toying with me. Why ghost an applicant repetitively? Unprofessional recruiter who doesn't respect an applicant's time or efforts!
