I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process consisted of 3 separate rounds of interviewing each which was conducted by one interviewer. This made the process a little less nerving as you only ever had to talk to one person at a time. There was a behavioral a technical and a business case study. The case study can be tricky depending on if you can catch the curve ball they're trying to throw you or not. They're very professional and extremely organized about how they conduct their interview process.

Question 1
Implement a stack with only a queue and explain the time complexities?
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Initially spoke to recruiters at a career fair at my university. I hit it off with one of the recruiters, and she took my information. I applied for an on campus interview through my school's career center.
On campus interview was a 45 minute session. Spoke to the recruiter about technology/programming in general. He asked some standard behavioral questions. Got an email an hour after the on campus inviting me to second rounds in Richmond.
Richmond interview had three parts- behavioral, case interview, and job fit (technical interview). Fairly standard technical interview for Sofware Engineering positions. Case interview was more business based (scenario driven, perform calculations, make recommendations). Behavioral was fairly standard, with some "tell me about a project when...".

Question 1
Nothing too too terrible. Was a bit thrown off by the way the Case Interviewer started asking questions. Once I understood what she was actually asking, it wasn't a difficult case to analyze. Overall felt fairly average throughout the interview, not great, not terrible. Got a call two days later with an offer.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2013
Interview
I had an interview on campus that consisted of mostly "Describe a situation when..." for me I found this relatively easy, some people I talked to found them difficult though.
I then was asked to go to Virginia for their final round of interviews, they seemed to ask roughly half of those they interviewed to the final round. There I had three separate interviews Case, Behavioral, and Technical. The Case was reasonably simple, but I actually ended up screwing up a bit at the end. The technical questions and behavioral were pretty easy. The technical question was essentially, write a program where you are given a string and find the substring.
Over all it was a pretty nice interview process and they make sure you're completely comfortable. They even let you talk to employees at a restaurant before the interviews so you are more relaxed.
