I applied on their career portal and then I got an invitation for a live (online) first round case interview. It consisted of two back-to-back 30-minute cases with two different associates. I got an email with two links (one for each associate). The cases were almost completely quantitative— they asked for a framework at the beginning but then immediately zeroed in on calculations they wanted you to run.

Tell me a little bit about yourself before we begin.
I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA)
Interview
One case with easy math. One power day with behavioral. Standard straight forward questions with exactly what you’d expect. Nothing caught off guard. Think star method to answer questions about difficult experiences or leadership moments. Prepare like you’d prepare for anything else.
Online problem solving exercise, followed by a 3 hour "powerday" with two cases and one product strategy interview. Cases are very numerical, more focus on calculations, and a few creativity based questions as well.
