Pros

Pay and benefits are great, so are the severance packages, which is great when you get managed out for 'performance' so they can hit their 10% forced attrition goal (back door layoffs)

Cons

Their move to being a 'Tech Company' may be great for all the folks they poach from Google and Meta, but they seemed to have forgotten that they need people to run their operations...well, at least until they can automate practically everything. Then their journey to the dark side will be complete. Also, hunger games style performance reviews. Did everything asked of you? To bad, your manager wasn't any good at arguing for your rating or you weren't some sr leader's pet, you're gonna be fodder for their 'Below Strong' bucket...

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.
