I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Nov 2012
Interview
The first interview was an on-campus case interview. The guy interviewing me was very nice and helpful. The case was pretty straightforward. Make sure to work clearly and talk through your work. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Question 1
Credit card competitor changes APR. Should we react/not react to that?
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.
