I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2011
Interview
The first interview was conducted on-campus. It consisted only of a case question with a senior analyst. It was my first case interview and I felt like I did poorly, but the interviewer was impressed enough to advance me to the next round. This consisted of a personality survey conducted online along with a math and verbal test, mostly involving how quickly and well you can read graphs and comprehend information.
After this, I was flown out to the Richmond office for a day consisting of 2 cases and 1 behavioral. The night before, there was a casual reception with recent hires, which was very informative. Interviews were with senior analysts and the entire experience was very professional.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to convince someone to see things your way.
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.
