I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Tysons Corner, VA) in May 2016
Interview
There interview involved speaking with project manager and team lead. It was very relaxed and natural conversation with the interviewers. I wouldn't say it was the hardest interview ever but they asked me some technical questions that brought me back to my computer science under graduate days. Other than that, I felt that it went very well.
It was a very fast turn around. They got my resume and wanted to bring me in for a face to face interview the next day. I heard some informal feedback from my recruiter almost immediately.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Sep 2015
Interview
First I interviewed on campus in Nashville, TN. Then I was invited to the main office in Richmond, VA. Everyone was friendly but it was one of my most intense interviews ever, of course besides google interview. The interview was divided into 3 sections. Technical, Case studies and behavioral.
The most excruciating was technical, I was given four programming problems to solve in 45 min. The first one was to implement binary search tree, the second was about linkedlist, the third was about implementing an algorithm to manage students resumes using java, and finally the fourth was sorting.
The interviewers were nice, but that is deceptive as it will make you feel like you are doing well when in the end they already know they are not giving you an offer.
I was contacted my my campus recruiter a week later and left a voice message saying I was not extended an offer with no explanation. I never got an official letter from them. Every attempt to speak with my recruiter afterwards were ignored.

Implement binary search tree to return the rightmost child node
Reverse a linked List
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Pittsburgh, PA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I was reached out by a recruiter for an on campus interview, which turned out to be a single, final round interview. The interview itself was straightforward and consisted of a behavioral round, technical round, and finally a case study round. The recruiters were very quick and I was notified within the same day for an offer for either a Data Engineer or Software Engineer position.
I chose to decline because my ambitions for now do not lie with a large company.
