I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2018
Interview
My phone interview with a manager seemed like a corporate espionage attempt. He repeatedly asked for specific details of algorithms I developed at my previous employer. I mentioned the unethical nature of the question and that usually companies ask canned technical questions rather than asking for an explanation of proprietary details of competitors algorithms. Interviewer persisted and clearly was unhappy with my responses. I emailed the recruiter and nothing happened, then received a rejection email. This interviewer should be fired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
describe in detail an algorithm you developed at your most recent employer
Power day style interview, two coding, one system design, one behavioral. Everyone was nice, but the interviewers seemed a little under prepared and/or new to interviewing in general. Questions where essentially leetcode medium/hard almost word for word.

Question 1
Leetcode Count primes, looking for optimal solution
Code assessment then to power day interview with 4 rounds. Overall the power day interviews were okay except for the case study. The interviewer was disengage while being on their phone the whole time. There was a part where the interviewer said fix the mistakes then went back to their phone. I pointed out their code has other errors with template and was ignored. Then while attempting to fix those (10 mins later) they mentioned to ignore that part and focus on the very bottom part of the code. What a waste of time and very unprofessional. This makes me wager a few of the interviewers probably could not pass their own interview process today.
