I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Recruiter will contact you for initial phone screen to tell you more about the application process. Will ask you about what you're looking for, salary requirements, and etc. No need to stress about this. Basically just have to play ball here, and not shoot yourself in the foot with outrageous salary or title demands to keep the process going. Their recruiters, at least the one I dealt with, are extremely fair, high-touch, and thorough.
The interview process for this position is no walk in the park. 2 45 minute behavioral interviews, and two 45 minute case interviews. The cases are relatively straight-forward, but considerably more difficult than the easy cases they post on their website. You have to do well on the cases to get an offer.
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.
