Interviewed Apr 2012 in Richmond, VA (took 3 weeks)
The quantitative test was the most difficult online test compared to the other 2. Fortunately passed and was summoned for a 4 hour interview (2 behavioral, 1 job fit and 1 case) The job fit and case interviews were the worst! Job fit interview questions were endless and grueling, and the case interview required a manual calculation and drawing of a GANTT chart! I mean who has ever calculated the number of days in a large project manually?! I was prepared for business case type questions, but never for a project management question.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 1+ week)
I had an on campus interview which consisted of what they call case studies. There really is minimal ways to prepare for this as it is more of a test of your ability to manipulate numbers for mostly break even points they also may ask you to make graphs and other things like that. The biggest thing is to not panic. They know they are difficult and you are supposed to mess up at certain points. The interviewer will help you at those points. If you don't understand something just ask! I was invited then to Richmond for an onsite interview. Here they give you a tour of the facility as well as a personality assessment as well as two more case studies all with different people. The personality portion was explained to me in the sense 'we just want to make sure you are not a murderer do not worry too much about that portion'. The case studies are what really matters. These case studies in my opinion were of a little greater difficulty than the first one I had but test over the same concepts. All in all just relax. You are competing against a base score to get the job and not the other applicants.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 3 weeks)
First, quant test via internet. Second, Phone Interview. Third, in-person super-day. Expect two cases and two behavioral interviews in the final round.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I received a better offer. Also, I did not like the atmosphere; the dress code was unprofessional for a bank, and the other employees seemed immature (always talking about beer, etc.); it felt more like college.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in McLean, VA (took 3 days)
Skills Test= very easy : simple Maths, no preparation required.
Phone Interview= vey easy: general questions/ aspirations.
Full Day interview= difficult: 4 on a road interviews, two cases ( consulting type) and two behavioral. They can use two interviewers at a time. The seem very focus on Quant skills. Some interviewers were not clear enough. Overall I had a good time and believe it is not a difficult interview.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Richmond, VA (took 3 days)
I applied for the ITDP through my university's career site. I also applied on Capital One's site. The Capital One application consists of the standard personal info, job history, questionnaire, etc. The next step was a on-campus interview with a recruiter. All of the questions were behavioral, a little bit about yourself and your resume. After that they invited me to Richmond for an on-site interview. There were about 20 people participating in that. The night before the interview there was a reception in our hotel where we met current employees, asked questions, and they told us a little bit about working at Capital One. The next day we went to their campus. There was a tour of the facilities, we met some more people that work there, and then there were 3 1-on-1 interviews. One was behavioral, one was a job fit interview, and one was a case study. Don't be too concerned if you do not breeze through the case study, they're more interested in how you approach the problem and try to work it out. Just try to stay calm because the problem may not be that hard but the presence of the interviewer may add pressure.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took a day)
I applied through my university career center website to get the interview. It was a resume drop, and I had heard good things about Capital One, so I figured it would be worth a shot.
I received an email from the recruiter a few days later, and he invited me to a social event at a local pub/restaurant to meet with some current employees. They all turned out to be recent grads, and they were easy to get along with. From speaking with them, it seemed like this would be a great place to work. They all spoke highly of the good pay, relaxed office environment, and flexible hours.
I chose the date and time for the interview online, and it took place at the career center on campus. It turned out to be an easy, straightforward case study. The interviewer set up the case, asked me to crunch some numbers, and posed some simple conceptual questions. All you needed was some basic math skills and some common sense. Unfortunately for me, I was nervous and blew the case.
To potential interviewees, I would check out the cases on Capital One's website. That was pretty close to the case study I got. You might want to brush up on basic algebra (if you need). I was given a pencil, paper, and a calculator, so don't worry about mental math.
