I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2016
Interview
I met a recruiter at a hackathon and he told me to apply online. This was in September. Heard back around two weeks later, found out I had an interview. Was flown out to Richmond,VA (they let you choose location of the interview.) Stayed in the Hilton with 5 other intern candidates and 6 fulltime candidates. We were picked up and brought to the Capital One West Creek Campus. They gave us a short tour of the campus and provided lunch for us. The interviews were shortly after, and there are three interviews: behavioral, case and job fit. I was interviewing for the software engineering program of the TDP, so my job fit was a technical interview consisting of three questions.
Tips:
SAR/Star for the behavioral definitely review ctci for both technical and this as well because they have a really good section on regards to behavioral as well as a technical obviously. Case, watch the video and be able to clarify / explain your thoughts. I think case might be sensitive so I'll add my behavioral and technical.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2020
Interview
All the interviews were scheduled for the same day.
There were three one hour interviews, all back-to-back:
Technical - leetcode style questions
Case - open ended business + tech question
Behavioral - "tell me about a time when..."
Felt like a well-rounded approach to interviewing - great experience.

Had all 3 of my interviews in one day -- one case study, one behavioral, and one technical.

First contacted me and arranged a phone screen, mostly talking about resume and behavioral questions. Then next interview was on location - all the interviewers were really nice, and everyone at the company was super friendly.
