I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in May 2011
Interview
Intense. Be prepared for a behavioral interview and a case study over a period of approximately 5 hours, with at least 4 - 8 different people, depending on the position for which you are seeking. As I was already working for the company, there were some aspects that did not apply to me, i.e. background check, credit check, personality testing.

Question 1
There was not one particular question - it's the overall feel of the interview process. One must remember that Capital One and their employees have what some people would think of as "arrogance" in their approach to meeting new people. There is an air of suspicion and superiority that you must be able to rise above and not let it intimidate you. Capital One is no better or worse than any other company in the banking/credit card world in terms of their people skills, and I've worked for several of those companies.
One thing that no one can overcome at Capital One is their age or race. Although Capital One does have older workers, the vast majority of Capital One employees are very young, i.e average age is probably somewhere around 35 years old and/or just minted college graduates. If you happen to be Indian, or a foreigner in general, that's even better!! If you are just graduating college and get a job at Capital One, you will be treated like royalty and be given the best opportunities at succeeding in the company. When I first started I was a bit envious of the training opportunities and "red carpet" treatment that newly minted college grads received compared to their average, middle aged co-workers. I've never felt so old in all my life!!
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2022
Interview
It was very straightforward and easy. I Interviewed with the manager and met the team members which was very nice. They got back to me with an offer within 3 days an d I accepted.
I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Applied for the job through my university and was contacted immediately to participate in a phone interview, at the end of which the recruiter invited me to take part in an upcoming round of on campus interviews. The day after this round of interviews I was called back to schedule on on-site interview in their Richmond office a week later. They put me up in a hotel the night before the interview and then went through a day consisting of 4 different interviews ranging from single case questions to completely behavioral questions. The next day I was called back with an offer of employment.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Jun 2013
Interview
Initial phone screening with placement agency, then one phone interview with hiring manager and current BSA on team. Surprisingly, did not have a face to face interview or visit to the office before offer was extended.
