Pros

Good benefits and pay, Ability to climb your way up, Work with some talented people, nice campuses and well maintained facilities. If you’re lucky, you’ll land in a non-toxic environment where you will enjoy your job, Ability to make your work into whatever you want it to be as long as it can be monetized

Cons

Toxic and death of the culture, High expectations, Cut-throat/Political environment, Unethical performance management and handling of associate conflicts, Constant turnover and reports, constant HR incidents, Favoritism, You will have to listen to the CEO fake-cry every year at his all hands which takes multiple days. The culture of the design team completely shifted from human-focused to performance-focused when the contract for the members of Adaptive Path left and Amazon executives came on board.

Cons

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.
