I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Mar 2011
Interview
I meet Capital One through my university recruiting. After submitting my resume, they came to my university and conducting a case interview. The second round was a timed standardized test online, math and verbal. For the third and final round, they flew me up to their McLean HQ (all expenses paid). Fairly long interview day, 2 cases and 1 behavioral. I think in the cases they are looking if you can do the quantitative analysis. I have a positive impression of the company: young, innovative, friendly => good corporate culture if you are looking to get into finance.
3 rounds of interviews, technical round focused on domain of expertise. Then there was a case study round. Interviewer was interested in execution of clear thoughts on data along with written codes.
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.
