I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2022
Interview
First recruiter call, then a codeSignal challenge with 4 questions ranging from easy to medium. I only attempted 2 questions and was invited to “PowerDay”.
The virtual on-site consists of 4 interviews
- case interviews which is a code question in Java which you have to talk through with the interviewer to solve.
- systems design for a credit card payment system
- behavioural interview, 3 “tell me a time…” questions
- technical challenge about counting prime numbers from 0 to n.
The recruiter was disconnected from the process through out, was late to every phone call meeting, did not apologize but said we have to recruit 300 candidates, interviews run long.
As other interviewees have mentioned, communication is a huge barrier during the power day interviews. I struggled to understand the accent of the interviewers and asked them to repeat the questions several times. Please take a notepad and write what you hear, then repeat to ensure you understand.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a time when you had to challenge a decision?
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.

Code signal 4 questions. Power day is one coding question, system design, case study and behavioral.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Ciudad de México) in May 2026

Excelente code challenge después de eso, preparaciones para un powerday q es básicamente 4 entrevistas técnicas en un solo día, es de 1 hora cada uno y al final de dicen si queda o no
