Pros

Benefits and pay, resource groups, buildings are very modern.

Cons

They want you to take on an unhealthy amount of work to demonstrate your value, do not believe in work life balance, force rank you against your peers with no consideration for the differences in workload and complexity, and have recently adopted a punitive style of management and performance where the littlest thing can be used to hold you back, reduce your bonus, and push you out. I worked 60 hours a week, was always done with work and deadlines on time, always willing to help out others and my team, mentored people, drove culture, and forge new territory in my project areas, earned patents, drove change and was still deemed as someone they thought was barely on par. The bar is entirely unreasonable now, and the exodus of the best people has been going on for year. Avoid at all costs, your mental health is worth far more than what they pay you.

Pros

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.
