I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
First round on campus. Basic Capital One type case study on a gym at the Capital One office and how much money should be charged to use it.
Final Round at Capital One's office. Three interviews, 1 behavioral, 2 cases. The cases were similar to the first round interview case question.

Question 1
Nothing was that difficult in the interview. Just try to take your time and don't make any mistakes in the math.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
On-campus interview. It was my first quant case interview, let alone any case interview. My background is mostly in project management an software development. My interviewer told me "the first is always the most fun", and we did end up having a pretty fun interview. I thought out loud, asked the right questions, and squeezed as much data out of him as possible on which to base my decision. Being a quant case, I had to set up some mathematical functions to figure out some finance stuff (profitable/unprofitable), but other than that, it was mostly thinking about smart business practices and decisions. I got decent verbal and gestural feed back from my interviewer, which was nice. Right around the end, my interviewer said that I gave a good solution, and I got a chance to ask him questions about the company. I enjoyed the experience very much.

Question 1
I would rather not reveal the specific case, but I will say that it was an unprofitable business venture (which I had to first discover) that I had to turn profitable through a series of numbers-based decisions.
First round interview on campus: easy case interview which measures math competency. Was then invited to second round interview. They flew me to their offices and had a 6 hour interview process. 2 cases, 1 behavioral, lunch, and an additional interview after lunch.
They go out of their way to make you comfortable. It was an extremely pleasant process and not overly stressful.

Question 1
Nothing unexpected, all cases were based off of past projects that capital one has worked on.
