The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2011
Interview
2 case studies. 1 behavioral interview. Then we got lunch and a tour of the corporate campus. After lunch, 4 other candidates and I were pulled to do a 4th interview (another case). Two of the cases were about credit cards, and one was the Ferry Boat example, which was probably the hardest case. The cases were tricky but doable. They don't really care about you doing lots of mental math, so you can bring a calculator. I'd recommend bringing your own to the interview, otherwise you might have to use the rinky dink solar-powered calculator that you're not familiar with.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Feb 2011
Interview
Contacted by representative about interviews on campus and accepted one. It was a case interview on the profitability of three different credit cards. Got invited the next day to fly to Plano for a day of interviews. Flew in the night before to the Nylo Plano and had some appetizers and drinks, just relax and have some fun and try to find out what working at the company is really like. The next day consisted of 3 case interviews and 1 behavioral. All 4 of my interviewers were Indian so that made things a bit more difficult since they were hard to understand, but overall the cases are pretty basic algebra, nothing to get bent out of shape about.
