I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Capital One in Apr 2013
Interview
The second round interview where they bring you on site is where it counts. There are three interviews: two case study and one behavioral. The two workers who did my case study where very professional and friendly while the one who did my behavioral just sat there the entire time with his face an inch from the paper where he was trying to write down every word I said. They bring you to lunch then ask people to stay for another case study interview. If you get this then you have a better chance of getting the position.

Question 1
I wish I did more practice with the case studies. They want to see if you know how to do them the preferred way as you can find in practice books. Also remember to use the STAR method when answering the behavioral question. The interview, as it normally is, is equally about how you interview as well as your skills. The interview process was very robotic and regimented as opposed to some engineering firms that I have interviewed with. Its a bank though so it comes with the territory.
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.
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.
