I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Found the business analyst position through my university's career website. It stated they would be coming on-campus for interviews but I was just sent an assessment and asked to complete it as soon as possible. Received notice the next day that I had passed, and was asked to go to Richmond, VA for final round. Before arriving Capital One will call and give you a play-by-play of what you will be doing on that day. It was informative but they treat you as if this is your first interview and explain what a behavioral interview is.
Advice to future interviewers is to spend little time at the reception (the night before) and practice your cases. Also follow their S-T-A-R behavioral advice, because that is the only way to fill up the 45 minutes and 3 questions that they present, the interviewer didn't seem to show any interest and it seemed like I was wasting her time.
The cases that I was presented weren't difficult and involved little math, the interviewers aren't that clear and I wish they had spoken better English or just had the prompt typed out.

Other Business Analyst Interview Reviews for Capital One
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.
