Pros

Looks good on a resume. So far, there has been opportunity for growth and advancement. Structured pay ranges level the playing field and add to the fairness factor. Work environment is conducive to collaboration and fellow staffers are very friendly. Time off allowances are good if exempt, standard for the hourly. Benefits are affordable with a variety of options.

Cons

Some talking heads, honesty and availability of information from management. Secret project code names can get in the way, and become distracting to getting the job done. Benifits could be better, some that are offered are never used. It would be nice to see the resources redirected a little to offer superior health coverage.

Pros

Good compensation and smart people are the reason people come to Capital One and the reason people stay at Capital One. The company recruits from top schools throughout the country (and the world), and invests heavily in professional development. In general, the company does a lot of the right things for employees -- allows working from home, good benefits (which don't increase in cost by 10%+ every year), fair severance (historically), etc.

Cons

Job security is virtually non-existent. Growth is gone, which makes it difficult to advance as senior managers protect their kingdoms instead of take on risks. Performance reviews and bonuses are driven more by tenure and politics than the company's managers would like to admit, and HR has a long track record of blunders when trying to address these problems.
