I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Feb 2012
Interview
Easy case interview on campus.
After passing initial case interview, had to take an online verbal/quantitative assessment and a personality assessment. Apparently most people pass these too.
After passing the assessments, was invited to their HQ. They flew us in and had us stay in a hotel right next to their HQ, met with current analysts the previous night. On interview day, they set up a room per applicant and interviewers would come to you. 2 case interviews and 1 behavioral, with the case interviews being much more difficult than the initial. Some applicants were asked to stay for an additional interview after lunch. I was not, and got a call two days later saying that I was not getting an offer. They told me I simply didn't do well enough on the cases.
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.

The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
