The hiring process at Capital One takes an average of 59 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Senior Strategy & Analitics Associate had the quickest hiring process (on average 59 days), whereas Senior Strategy & Analitics Associate roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 59 days).
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2011
Interview
Applied through school career site. Application was simple, resume drop and some simple questions but no cover letter. Got a first round interview which was a not-very-intense case-style interview with pretty simple math questions to solve a basic business problem (lot of break-even and what-ifs). Got flustered and messed up some of the questions she asked me, was also the last interview slot of the day, and didn't make it to the next round but wasn't really surprised. They say they look to take 'everyone that makes it' rather than weed people out to fill a certain number of slots. From what I heard, next round interviews were very similar: more cases, with panels of interviewers, and if you pass the cases you move on to behaviorals.

Question 1
Breakeven questions where profit values were in percentages as opposed to dollars (i.e. marketing revenue = 4%, not $1 billion, etc.) and calculating changes in profit and breakevens from that.
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One in May 2012
Interview
Other than the process takes a bit of time to get through it is a very thorough interview process. I had heard alot of comments about the Case testing. I found that to be the easiest part. The interviewer made is interactive and non-threatening.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in May 2012
Interview
Drove into Richmond from Wake Forest and was compensated for gas a put up in a nice hotel. It consisted of 2 case interviews and a behavioral interview. The behavioral interview was more relaxed than the two case interviews; the interviewee just wants to learn about your character to see if you would fit into the company. The two case interviews are much more stressful and intense and are highly quantitative and cryptic.
