Capital One reviews

Layoff is the order of the day. There is a regular massive layoff due to what the senior leadership describe as 'restructuring'. Capital One is so convinced they will lay people off regularly that they have a Career Development Center office in their Richmond location and works with a company called LHH to help their laid off employees transition out of the company. Additionally, the annual employee performance review is not based necessarily on how well you have performed over the past year but how you compare to others in the same level but who may not be doing anything related or close to what you are doing. Your annual bonus depends on how well your manager can represent you in the presence of other managers and/or how well or badly everybody in your level did over the previous year.

Company hires, fires, reorganizes, hires, fires, reorganizes, hires, fires, reorganizes... Mandatory performance management bell curve creates a Survivor like atmosphere. Improvements and best practices have to be rediscovered over and over because churn causes backsliding.
