Pros

Company is good to technology and software engineering employees and good for benefits. Company values are good, just not in TA.

Cons

Tech TA isn't treated well at all. Many broken systems and bad management. Everything revolves around an old school brown nose, popularity contest type of culture. A lot of create your own value by making up pointless meetings and "omg that's amazing" type of responses to managements every word. Metrics are "rank and yank" bell-curve style not based on actual numbers. Scheduling is bad, and you will become a sourcer not a true inhouse recruiter here.

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.
