I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
Had to complete online process first, involving math and technical questions. After that, was invited for an on campus case interview. The question was not too challenging but they are just trying to figure out how you think. Made it to the next round and they flew me out to South Carolina. Went through a power day of three case interviews and a behavioral interview.

Question 1
The most difficult question asked was a case that involved many different credit card rates. Each new part of the problem introduced changed all of the previous steps so it was difficult to keep track of.
I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2013
Interview
First I applied through my university's career services website. Then, I had an interview on campus that consisted of one case and lasted about 40 minutes. It wasn't too hard, and while I didn't struggle with it, some of my friends did, and they still got offers for final round interviews. For the final round, I went to Richmond and had two case interviews and one behavioral interview. The behavioral interview only consisted of three questions; I probably would have done better if I had known it would be so short, because I withheld some of my better stories/experiences in anticipation of more questions.
Overall, it was an OK experience. I was not given as much time between my first round and final round interviews as everyone else that I know.

Question 1
In one of my final round cases, I had to describe the type of person who Capital One should target for a new cash back card. The interviewer was extremely vague as to what he meant by "describe," and that was probably the most important part of the case. It does help to know something about credit cards and how they work before heading to the final round.
