I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2011
Interview
I submitted my application online through Capital One and was contacted a few days later asking me to take the online skills assessment exam. The exam consisted of questions about your personality, a verbal reasoning, and a quantitative reasoning exam. The verbal reasoning focused on reading comprehension and logic. The mathematical portion only requires basic algebra, but you can only spend on average 45 sec to one min on each problem. Essentially the exams are like the GMAT.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult questions were problems based on interpreting graphs or charts. Usually these types of problems provide too much information and it becomes crucial to be able to find the data needed to solve the problem under a short time limit
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Oct 2011
Interview
After passing "mini-GMAT" skills test, was flown out to Plano to interview. Behavioral interview was easy, but case interviews were more difficult. Was a little nervous under pressure and could not come up with all of the equations that they wanted. Was not offered a position.
Seems like a great company to work for. Great hours, relaxed environment (analyst can come to work in jeans!). Also seems like a professional environment with good training and development.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2011
Interview
2 Behavioral and 2 Case Interview. 1 post lunch Case Interview (total 3 Cases). All 3 cases were based on credit card business (defaults, recovery, comparing cards). Pretty straightforward cases and the interviewers were very helpful.
Make sure to go over all the cases listed on Glassdoor - you will probably get some variation of the already listed cases
I was told I passed the interview process the next day and after talking to my prospective manager, was extended an offer within a week
