Pros

For the first time in my 20 year career, I am treated as an adult. The policies in place all support the employee and their ability to get work accomplished. We are encouraged to structure our work in the manner that makes us most comfortable. Benefits are generous, and there are ample opportunities to move within the company should one outgrow a role.

Cons

I felt the base salary was low, but I was switching gears somewhat, which makes it hard to judge. Other than that, I haven't found any downsides -- I'm DELIGHTED here.

Pros

- Great company culture - Fantastic quality of people (no bozos) - Meritocracy that rewards people for results not political prowess - good compensation and benefits - analytical approach balanced with sound judgment

Cons

- Industry is in a bad spot and government regulation / legislation will not make life easy for Capital One or anyone else - Bank acquisitions are sucking lots of bandwidth while the company gets the three banks to act as one - Growth of the company is slowing so opportunities are not what they once were for advancement - Focus is on very specific skillsets and general management skills are less appreciated than great quantitative skills and gaps in other disciplines
