Interview
Submitted my application and was shortly emailed to do a one way interview. Was fairly quick, some general questions about yourself, and then some tests of writing emails to coworkers.

Interview
1. Online Application
2. 3 Aptitude Tests
3. One-way Online Interview
There were 7 questions for this interview: 4 video responses (2 behavioural, 2 situational) and 3 email responses that involved some maths. The questions themselves were easy, however the system they used was awful. My responses for the last 2 videos were not recorded and there was no way for me to rectify this. The email response questions are very unclear.
It is a shame that the online interview process is so bad as I was initially very excited by the prospect of working for Capital One. Even if I was to pass this stage I seriously doubt I would take this application any further as it came across as very unprofessional in comparison to the other interviews I have completed.

Interview
Filled in form online, no cover letter required. This was followed by three tests, each of which took about 25 minutes: one on situational strengths, one on verbal reasoning and one on numerical reasoning. While the latter two of these were timed, there was no time limit.
I must have been successful because I was then invited to a one-way video interview. This had seven questions, four of which were of the same format: I had three minutes to read the question and formulate a response, after which it started recording my response automatically, giving me three further minutes to answer. Since there was no other human involved I was getting no feedback, and so I was very uncertain about whether my answers had the content they were looking for. This made me nervous. Uploading the recordings took quite some time.
The remaining questions were written -- it was unclear whether they were being timed or not. They all involved answering fictitious emails and either performing and explaining calculations or brainstorming ideas. Two of the video questions were followups to these, and involved pretending to be in a video chat with the supposed authors of the emails, though again, as there was no other human involved this was very difficult.
I received a very cursory rejection the very next day. No feedback was offered, so I have no idea which parts of my performance were inadequate. To crown it all, they had the cheek to then ask ME for feedback on the application process.
