It all depends on what department you're in

Pros

Management tends to be very flexible and allows for flexible work arrangements, either permanently or on a temporary basis. This included either working a full day from home or a portion. The gym at the main West Creek campus is great, never too crowded, knowledgeable trainers, a 5 minute or less walk from any building...and you can't beat the $15 per month fee.

Cons

Some departments are either to advance in than others, and even then it depends on your manager. I know of more than a few people who have been promoted 2+ times since they moved out of my department (within the past 2 years), but yet no one within my department has been promoted at all

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of great things about the company, some of the things I like most are: - Extremely smart and competent people to work with and learn from - Complete empowerment to associates at all levels - Very young, highly energetic, and collaborative culture - Culture encourages debating different points points of view - Very open top management with a lot of respect for people at all levels - Very balance work/life balance for their level of compensation

Cons

No place is perfect and Capital One is no exception: - Main focus is on developing and rewarding analytical skills and less on leadership development - Growth opportunities are started to become limited - Hard to differentiate yourself amongst such a great group of smart people leading
