Pros

Capital One provides great work/life balance. Everyone takes great pains to be polite and supportive. There are a number of courses provided by Capital one university to ensure that the employees know how to get along with one another. There is extreme fairness in year-end evaluations and promotions. It takes a good 40 hours every year-end to perform all of the evaluations and cross-calibrations to make sure everyone is assessed fairly in relation to their peers.

Cons

Senior managers are typically not experts in their departments' core competencies. Therefore, SME employees in the department must "pitch" their ideas for projects to management, progressing slowly along a long learning curve for the manager. To make matters worse, it seems like just about the time your manager finally does "get it," he or she is whisked away to lead some other unrelated department. and the employees must train a new manager.

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Employee engagement always high priority.

Cons

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Highly focused on sales vs service.

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
