Pros

Benefits are good and some perks such as working remotely (if you work for the right manager) help maintain work life balance. You'll work with many smart people who you'll learn from; most everyone is amicable and interested in getting things accomplished.

Cons

Tremendous lack of communication from management regarding direction of company. Very political - if you aren't good at promoting yourself and getting the right notice during meetings you will go nowhere. Doing your job well is not enough to get promoted nor is it rewarded. Understand in advance that your job is not secure. If you are promoted during the year, expect to get a poor review when you are first evaluated at that new level.

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.
