Pros

Somewhat decent pay Great Benefits Ok work/life balance (can be pretty bad sometimes)

Cons

Literally everything else. You will learn nothing at Capital One and the majority of you work will be for regulatory processes and you will spend all your time fighting fires and never thinking. The performance management system (stack ranking) is outdated and will be the downfall of the company. Senior leadership at the company is beyond spineless and completely out of touch with employees. The whole company is just a complete dumpster fire.

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.
