The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Feb 2010
Interview
Capital One's recruiting process consists of case and behavioral interviews, personality testing, and skills testing. The process was extensive (final round interviews consisted of 4 hours of interviews and testing back to back), but also quite fair. Critical thinking and problem solving skills were valued over actual business knowledge, in fact, the company seemed to prefer my technical background in physics over a degree in business management or finance. Everyone I met was intelligent and personable and the company culture was surprisingly laid back, progressive, and open. I left my final interview thoroughly impressed by the company's rigorous interview process and friendly, modern atmosphere.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to overcome an obstacle to achieve a result.
The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
Phone interview and then a follow up email regarding mini case interview. Then there would be final interview process. Recruiter reached out via Linkedin to schedule phone interview and scheduled a mini case interview
