I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Dec 2017
Interview
There was an on-campus interview, followed by a day of onsite interviews at the Capital One offices. The night before the onsite, they took a number of candidates out for dinner at an upscale restaurant. The onsite contained two case interviews and one behavioural interview.

Interview
Capital One did a case workshop for first round interviewees at my university. First round interview was a one on one case that focused much more heavily on running through figures, though there was one twist that required qualitative analysis within the case. Those who were selected from first round batch were put through an online personality test and math/reading SAT-like test.
Second round interviewees were contacted a couple weeks later. The recruiter was very involved in working with second round applicants and called each one up individually. Second round interviews involved a behavioral interview and two case interviews. Similar format for the case interviews--heavily quantitative, but also with one or more qualitative understandings in order to complete the case.
Did not receive offer, but very good process overall.

Interview
The recruiter sent many emails to students at my school. The first round was a short case (20 min) on campus. Next, they asked for a easy, basic math and verbal skills online test. Finally, I had a final round in Richmond at their headquarters. You get 2 case interviews and 1 behavioral. Each interview is 45 minutes long. You have plenty of time to ask questions. Get them to like you. If they think you're good, you'll get a fourth interview that day.

Question 1
The case questions are fairly straightforward computation questions. Make sure you write down your work clearly so that you can guide the interviewer through your process.
