I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2010
Interview
The first round was typical resume and behavioral questions with a fairly basic case question involving the credit card industry. It was mostly simple problem solving and nothing you should have problems with if you actually get an interview. The second round was at their headquarters and consisted of three 1:1 interviews, 2 of which were cases and 1 that was behavioral. All the cases had a financial theme and brushing up on how the credit card industry works should help out with developing creative solutions to problems. Be sure you are comfortable both formulating your answers and possible graphing them out. I really liked the culture of the company and everyone I met was happy to have joined Capital One.

Interview
Applied through my college career center (resume drop). Got initial interview. Initial interview question was about the Subway 5 dollar footlong promotion. There was not time for behavioral questions in the initial interview. Passed that, then got an IQ test and a math/verbal assessment to complete. Then got invited to a final round interview in Virginia. Representatives and interviewers were incredibly nice.

Interview
Pretty easy case interview. As long as you understand the question, you will solve it....I feel kind of nervous at the first beginning, so make some silly mistakes, but overall it is pretty easy comparing to other case interview.
