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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
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.
