I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Round 1 - 45 minute case interview on campus. You're given a calculator in all of the cases so use it.
Round 2 - 1 behavioral, 2 cases, a buffet lunch, and 1 more case in the afternoon for the people who they are borderline about. Behavioral is only three questions and takes 15 minutes at the very most, so be prepared with lots of questions. Cases ranged from ones with multiple diagrams that you had to analyze to ones that the interviewer created off the top of his head. Don't eat too much from the buffet so you don't get a food coma - about half of the group of students at my superday interviewing for the BA position had a 4th case after lunch.
Extremely organized superday, everyone is polite and leaves you with a positive impression of the firm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Capital One is trying to introduce a new credit card. They give you information about two types, which one should you introduce? What if you had the option of devoting a % of your resources to each credit card, what's your optimal ratio between the two credit cards?
I was referred so first a game like assessment that tested basically middle school algebra skills. Then a business case power day with three different interviewers, two of them were analytical and one was product
R1 was VJT, which was fairly simple. R2 was a screening case study, and lastly a Powerday. Powerday was grueling and cases were math heavy (bank related as well). Would recommend the process.

Question 1
They gave a product and asked for multiple ways to improve it.
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.
