I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2010
Interview
The first round was typical resume and behavioral questions with a fairly basic case question involving the credit card industry. It was mostly simple problem solving and nothing you should have problems with if you actually get an interview. The second round was at their headquarters and consisted of three 1:1 interviews, 2 of which were cases and 1 that was behavioral. All the cases had a financial theme and brushing up on how the credit card industry works should help out with developing creative solutions to problems. Be sure you are comfortable both formulating your answers and possible graphing them out. I really liked the culture of the company and everyone I met was happy to have joined Capital One.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the breakeven point of a credit card based on expected revenues and costs.
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.
