I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One in Aug 2012
Interview
I was referred from a previous interview process with Capital One so I was bypassed the intial rounds to a powerday in Richmond. There were 3 interviews, one behavioral which was cake, and 2 case interviews. I could have done better on the case interviews. As with anything, it is partly dependent on who your interviewer is--oftentimes senior members will be less helpful, overall the way the phrased the questions were misleading. Their case interviews are highly quantitative, more so than most from what I have heard.
It was pretty much three rounds. The first round took place at my school, it was a basic revenue-cost case but more number oriented than a typical case, not too bad. Next was a reading-math online quiz thing that I thought I bombed but was apparently good enough to make it to the final round
The final round is at the campus in DC, two cases, some people had three and a behavioral interview. I felt like I rocked the cases, even more than the first round one, and I always kill behaviorals but I must have done something wrong because I didn't get the job. Not a big deal, just took a better offer.

Question 1
Just typical financial case questions. Most dealt with credit cards.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Apr 2012
Interview
The process begins with a phone screening. If you pass that, then you take a series of online tests, one of which is personality. You should be told what these tests are, and if two of them are numerical and verbal reasoning, know that there are practice tests available on the web and it is in your interest to practice before taking them. The tests will determine if you make it to the next step. What they don't tell you ahead of time is if you don't "pass" you can't apply for another job in the same job family for six months. And the "job family" for a position is not posted anywhere! Don't know the next steps because the tests said I wasn't a fit.

Question 1
The phone screening is logical and fair, no particularly difficult or unusual questions.
