The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Mar 2011
Interview
The process was fairly simple and so are the interviews. The 1st round interview was waived, so i completed a personality assessment and an IQ assessment somewhat like the SATs (math/verbal). I passed that and was invited to Superday at the McLean, VA office. The day consisted of 2 cases, 1 behavioral, Lunch, and a tour of the McLean office.
1st Interview: Ferry boat, really simple and straight forward. This is where I messed up because I wanted to be thorough and ask questions about what impacted profitability. I thought that i did fairly well and in fact would have continue to do so if I wasn't informed by a recruiter that, it was my first interview. Come to think about while I ask asking questions the interviewer did seem pretty red. So I would after first two questions, i should have just given him my hunch and that would have made things easier. It's definitely not like the traditional McKinsey case--much more straightforward.
2nd Interview: This case was a little more challenging. This was regarding credit card processing. This is where i thought i messed up towards the end because I didn't understand the interviewer's question, but was informed that i actually did well on this case. Again, straight forward just understand the credit card business.

Question 1
Tell me about about a time you went beyond your responsibilities?
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.
