It was pretty much three rounds. The first round took place at my school, it was a basic revenue-cost case but more number oriented than a typical case, not too bad. Next was a reading-math online quiz thing that I thought I bombed but was apparently good enough to make it to the final round
The final round is at the campus in DC, two cases, some people had three and a behavioral interview. I felt like I rocked the cases, even more than the first round one, and I always kill behaviorals but I must have done something wrong because I didn't get the job. Not a big deal, just took a better offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just typical financial case questions. Most dealt with credit cards.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Aug 2012
Interview
I was contacted through a recruiting agency. Since I live and originate from Colorado and am in the process of moving to TX my interviews were done via phone. The first interview was with a manager and he basically just told me more about the position and it was basically a Q&A session. The second interview took longer to get scheduled because the manager was on PTO. Once she got back we interviewed and we went more in detail about the job and day to day functions. Within 2 hours of that interview ending I had another phone interview scheduled for the next day. The last one was the most difficult because it was explaining their processes and if I had similar experience and situations. The first interviewer was based in Plano, TX which is where the job is located but the other two interviewers were based in Richmond, VA. I heard back from the recruiter within 36-48 hours with my offer.

Question 1
Since I wasn't in Plano, TX at the time to meet with anyone face to face I have yet to see the campus or meet the people.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Apr 2012
Interview
The process begins with a phone screening. If you pass that, then you take a series of online tests, one of which is personality. You should be told what these tests are, and if two of them are numerical and verbal reasoning, know that there are practice tests available on the web and it is in your interest to practice before taking them. The tests will determine if you make it to the next step. What they don't tell you ahead of time is if you don't "pass" you can't apply for another job in the same job family for six months. And the "job family" for a position is not posted anywhere! Don't know the next steps because the tests said I wasn't a fit.

Question 1
The phone screening is logical and fair, no particularly difficult or unusual questions.
