I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Nottingham, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
After the application form was submitted, I was invited to do a series of online tests. Very soon after, they called me telling me I'd passed and set up a phone interview. The phone interview was a case study and we were given materials before hand. This was fairly simple, requiring conceptual knowledge and mathematical skill. Make sure you brush up on marketing techniques and algebra! Again, very quickly I was told I passed and was invited to an assessment centre.
The assessment centre consisted of a 1:1 job fit interview, another case study (much more difficult than the first one! Don't get flustered and practice conceptualising problems with graphs and going through equations - they take either approach), and a group presentation. They are looking for a culture fit, so relax and be yourself! They're not a stuffy institution. At the group presentation, we were asked to introduce ourselves with an interesting fact. My fellow candidates talked about previous internships and projects, while I mentioned I made balloon animals. I was the only one with further questions!
After a few days I was told they'd like me to come back for a final round interview! This consisted of a final case study even harder than the others. Unfortunately I got flustered and didn't perform as well as usual (so make sure you keep calm and focus on your work). I was not given an offer, but the overall experience was very positive! They really help you through each stage of the process and encourage you to relax.

How would you work out the height of a tall black tower at 2pm with a measuring tape?
By the far the most poorly handled application I have experienced. Completed the online form, then various tests. Was only told I had passed after I emailed, they said they had sent me the digital interview link but they hadn't. I got in touch numerous times asking for help and was constantly told they would send it soon. Overall extremely disappointing, feels like applying was just a total waste of time as the company isn't even replying to my emails anymore. Would not recommend.
Failed at the video interview, which has 8 to 9 questions including generic competency questions like why do you think you are a good fit for the company and small case studies with a little number-crunching.
