I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2010
Interview
Had to take extensive personality, math, and verbal/logic tests online before the first round interview. Attended a company presentation/reception for preselects the night before the interview. The first round interview was a case interview focusing on analytics but mostly just simple math (weighted average etc.). The second round interview happened at the headquarters in Mclean. It consisted of 4 actual interviews overall. 1 behavioral and 3 cases (1 case interview came at the end after lunch and not everyone took part in it). There was also a followup math test on-site to make sure you did not have someone else take the test for you. Pretty easy overall. The cases were harder than they actually should have been due to the pressure of the interview environment. Overall, friendly people.
Got an offer and accepted it.

Question 1
Typical behavioral question: "Tell me a time when you faced an unexpected challenge when working on a project and how you dealt with it."
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.
