I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Started with phone interview. Once that was passed, progressed to very intense day long interview process - testing, behavioral and case studies. Started with written testing, progressed to in-person behavioral interviews and then culminated with in-person case studies.

Question 1
Tell me a time when you had to deal with conflict?
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
Frist round included a virtual culture assessment. Online scenarios and options of what to chose so that they can see the types of decisions you make, not necessarily how you make these decisions.
The interview process was smooth overall. It started with a computer screening, followed by a 30-minute recruiter call focused on my experience and fit with Capital One. Then I had a one-hour “money case” discussing a Capital One product from different angles. I’ve now moved to the PowerDay round, which includes two product cases, one product skills round, and one product discovery round.
