This post was last edited by Anonymous on 2025-10-1 17:05. Four rounds: Powerday, Lead Position, 1 SD, 1 Coding, 1 Case Study, 1 BQ. The points are set higher; I'll just post the details directly. The following content requires more than 200 points. You can already view it. Round 1

Coding Bank System (Indian interviewer) Create account, deposit Transfer TopNActivity (Activity includes deposit and withdrawal) It's worth mentioning that all inputs here are String[], so I wrote a lot of switch cases because I used Java. Round 2

System Design (Indian interviewer) Just look at the original question below. The system is a bit large, so just perform. Talk as much as you can; don't listen to the drawing. Talk more about business cases, such as unique regulatory, auditing, and security requirements for banks. The interviewer didn't make things difficult for me; he just asked some detailed questions, such as how to encrypt and store passwords in the database, and how to implement security. Tokens, etc. Design a credit card account management application for Capital One bank. The application should present an approved Capital One Credit Card customer with the opportunity to create an online account, increase the credit limit on the account, and report usages. Features that need to be supported: 1. Create a credit card online account access portal. 2. Authorize or Decline transactions based on fraud detection. 3. Support reporting to Credit Bureaus on a monthly basis. 4. Ability to approve a credit limit increase (real-time decision). 5. Support calculating daily, weekly, and monthly statistics. Round 3 Case Study (Indian guy) Actually, it seems to be a code review. It's divided into three parts. Here's some background information: what kind of chatbot is this for? The first part gives you some actual data and some code, then asks what the code does, what you think it does, and whether you think it meets my use case. (The code is just a datastore access class.) The second part gives you more data, uses the code from the first part, and asks what it does. Do you see any problems? At this point, connect it to the business use case. Third paragraph: You're right, this business use case is completely unmet. We now have a revised requirement; can you modify this code? Thoughts: Very simple, anyone can do it. Talk as much as you can, connecting it to the use case.

Round 4 Behavioral Questions, two white managers, not even SDE managers. Three classic questions, answered in 25 minutes... After that, the three of us just stared at each other, and in the end, we figured we might as well call it a day. We couldn't continue the conversation. You're not even a programmer. The only impression is that the Capital One interviewers were quite nice, the conversation was very enjoyable, and each one had been there a long time, at least 8 years at C1, the longest being 20 years. The Indian guys each had their own reasons, but perhaps because they were all based in Plano, they seemed more open-minded and approachable.
