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 Jun 2011 in Richmond, VA (took 4 weeks)
Contacted through LinkedIn about the position. Passed the first round of skills/personality tests so I was asked to come to Richmond for more interviews which consisted of 2 business "case studies" and 2 behavioral interviews - each with 1 person. So I met with a total of 4 people. They ask you to stay for lunch, and during that time the 4 people you interviewed with, get together and make a decision; they have to come to a consensus. I nailed 3 out of 4 interviews and made 2 stupid mistakes on the last case study and I was told the next day because of that I didn't get the job. I was shocked. I made a careless mistake, and then 1 math mistake, but eventually came to the right answer in the end - I totally thought I was going to get the job.... even though they are very very vague as to exactly what job you are applying for. The entire process was pretty cryptic. The case studies were overall pretty simple, which of course makes you feel like even more of an idiot when you "fail". Recruiter was OK, but if he/she has no interest in talking to you after you are done with your interview day in Richmond - then you didn't get the job. They know pretty much immediately after you are done.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 days)
Very easy questions. If you have been in some business and finished high school, learning your math maybe some college calculus, then it's a piece of cake. All you have to do is not to make silly calculation mistakes. They look at your basic calculations, and you have to tell what you are doing. Do not rush. Rushing is your enemy, take your time, take a deep breath and do it.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 3 months)
Applied online for multiple positions, received decline letter due to not filling position. Contacted recruiter to inquire about status of other requisitions applied. Set up initial phone screen interview with recruiter. Next step was to take personality test. Pass the personality test which allows you to take the math and verbal test. Math and verbal test are standard GMAT type questions. Need to prepare for these if you are rusty. Passed the math and verbal test, then set up phone interviews with two different hiring managers. Once you pass those I was invited for an on site interview in Plano. Capital One paid for my expenses to Plano. On site interview consisted of half day 45 min-1 hour interviews with hiring manager and peers and head of department. Two of the interviews consisted of standard behavioral interviews. Short 15 minute test to verify you completed the math and verbal on your own.
Overall process took about 2.5 months. Capital One appears to be proud to hire bright, smart and intelligent people which they will pay a premium for. The department I interviewed for is going through big changes with the acquisition of 3 regional banks and working through integration and new process and programs. People all appear to be nice and professional. Office environment is casual which is kind of nice that you don't need to dress up. But everyone appeared to dress in relax business casual. Meaning khakis and collared shirts.

Depending on the need for the position and what skills you can bring to the organization. I did not negotiate a salary as I was offered a salary that was above my expectations, I was offered a signing bonus which is nice especially given the current environment.
