J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (McLean, VA) en nov. 2015
Entretien
I had a preliminary interview at my college and then was asked to interview in McLean, VA. I was told to prepare for a case study interview which was something I had never done as a CS major. They had an info session where they talked about the case study and how to prepare for it so I did. I get to Capital One and have my standard behavioral and technical interviews. Then when it was time for the case study, two men came in and said they were trying something different and that I would instead have an interview on encryption. I hadn't yet taken a class on encryption and it was very unclear what they wanted me to do. I was so nervous and thrown for a loop because I had been preparing for something totally different. I got a call 3 days later saying I didn't get an offer. It all worked out though because I ended up getting an offer from Microsoft which was my first choice!
J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (Bengaluru)
Entretien
Online Assesment: There were 3 questions of which one was something like finding minimum possible sum with OR, second one was related to BFS on graph and third one was Falling apples which was related to dp. Each question had 5 test cases. I had got 14 out off the 15 cases. After the oa, 46 students were shortlisted.
Round 1: This was another oa with 2 questions which were to be answered in 45 mins and had a weightage of 50 marks each. The oa was on hackerearth and answers were to be typed in a textbox.
First question was based on dp in grids (MaxGold problem). There was only one example given in question and we had to type only the function in the textbox.
Second question was a system design question which was similar to system design of google calender (calender design question). This question had 3 sub-questions:
What are some non-functional requirements and reason it out?
What is the DB schema for the question?
Write pseudo-code for sending invites to guests given startTime and endTime.
After this round, 22 people were shortlisted.
