I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Sep 2014
Interview
The recruiter was very professional. First, I was contacted via e-mail, then was scheduled for a 30-minute telephone interview. I was then passed on to the next step which was a 2-hour math and reading comprehension exam to take on my own time. The test was in SAT format, timed, and challenging. In this case, the job was not suited for me, but the test results (I passed) are now on file and I won't have to take it again for future job posts. If I had pursued the position, the next step would be to interview face-to-face with the hiring manager.

Question 1
Initial questions in the interview were not difficult. Recruiter asked about specifics from my resume and experience.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jan 2013
Interview
First, there is a brief phone screen to confirm identity and interest. Next, there is an online verbal, numerical and psych assessment that needs to be passed to be scheduled for an interview. There were three on-site interviews on the same day, two behavioral and one fit. The interviewers strictly follow a printed template with the most emphasis placed on the behavioral questions. The professionalism of the HR department is also worth noting.

Question 1
The most difficult aspect is having at least six different concise and well rehearsed examples ready for answering all of the behavioral questions.

Interview
It was a long process that consisted of HR phone interview, a skills test about process, then a one-on-one interview with the hiring manager. Overall, the HR phone interviewer was very helpful. The skills test were similar to the previous feedback (i.e. Tim Hortons etc...)Take your time with the skills test. I think they're looking for really intelligent people there. IQ/intelligence screening, they do for everyone.
