I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Mar 2013
Interview
First round is a short case interview. Second round is 2-3 longer case interviews (heavily quantitative) and one behavioral interview (very predictable questions). If you are good with numbers and comfortable in social situations you can ace the cases, BUT YOU HAVE TO PREPARE. Prep by practicing lots of cases with other people. Give and recieve practice case interviews. You may also want to do some math refreshers, like practicing GMAT/GRE questions. Basic algebra, fractions/percentages, and weighted averages is as hard as the math will get.

Question 1
Describe a time when you had to convince someone of your point of view?
3 rounds of interviews, technical round focused on domain of expertise. Then there was a case study round. Interviewer was interested in execution of clear thoughts on data along with written codes.
I was referred so first a game like assessment that tested basically middle school algebra skills. Then a business case power day with three different interviewers, two of them were analytical and one was product
R1 was VJT, which was fairly simple. R2 was a screening case study, and lastly a Powerday. Powerday was grueling and cases were math heavy (bank related as well). Would recommend the process.
