I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Mar 2014
Interview
Had 2 case interviews and 2 behavior interviews:
For behavior interviews: looks like they have a standard list . please read thru BI interview post in glass door. I had to answer about 5 BI questions and they all are available in these interview reviews.
However I felt more emphasis in on case Interviews and problem solving skills of the person being interviewed.
1. 1 case interview was based on basic profit equation. profits= revenues- costs. case was based on credit card scenario. credit card user population is divided in to two groups. for group 1 I was given all numbers and asked to calculate profit per year. For the second part i was asked to calculate the how much a different group has to spend to generate the same amount of profit. we need to make some assumptions here. I made some mistakes and the interviewer help me thru the case.
2. second case was interview was based on a campaign and calculating the benefits of campaign. Interviewer asked me how I would calculate the profits related to campaign. he was expecting an answer like " I would have a target and control group and based on the difference in the increase in revenue before and after the campaign I can tell what % of the increase in revenue is due to the campaign". something like that.

my second case interview where I has to calculate the increase in revenue from campaign
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2014
Interview
Applied online, emailed me back in a week with an online assessment, followed by a HR screen. I traveled to their Toronto office for a case study which was just simple profit/cost analysis, followed by a 1 hour Behavioral. I tried to rush through the case too quickly and got more things confused than I should have. Overall they were extremely easy, but make sure you ask when the questions are ambiguous. Got a call back in the next week for the final interview. Same thing except for a half hour job fit interview with the hiring manager in the beginning. Same thing as before except the questions were a bit harder, but not harder than what you do in Highschool/1st year calculus. Overall the interviewers were very helpful and encouraging.

Question 1
Behavioral was fairly standard, though make sure to use different examples for both interviews even if the questions are similar. I got caught off guard in the case study as it required some quick differentiation to find the derivative of a function. I haven't done that since Highschool.
