      Toxic culture overshadowed by decent compensation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation is pretty comparable to the area

      Cons

      Performance management is killer. If you have an all-star team they will try to find any little imperfection in your work to grade you lower. If you don' have a manager that will stick their neck out for you, prepare to get PIP'd ( they also tend to PIP newer folks due to politics rather than actually try to onboard them). Working while management is breathing down your neck has made the culture extremely toxic here. If you want to survive here, be prepared to play the politics game-work has become increasingly secondary here

      Cutting-edge tech work overshadowed by job instability and PIP stress

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Heavily org dependent. But some teams particularly, in Card, are doing cutting edge tech work. The offices and subsidized food are very nice! Co-workers are mostly data driven and not drama queens.

      Cons

      Heavily org dependent. But the common theme is ongoing job instability. Which is a HUGE distraction. Enterprise tooling reflects the talent of the folks there. I have not come across folks more indifferent to their customers, even if they're "only" internal. The attrition rate is 12-15% every SIX months. Cap One is full and they just acquired Discover and Brex. Now is not the right time to join the company. Hiring freezes up to the director level signal that. "Invest in yourself" where last Fridays of the month would be off, is gone. And with that the bargain cap one made with the labor market of lower wages (relative to the giants) for a relaxed work environment is out. Now you get the grind culture and stress of the giants without the pay. It makes little sense to continue employment here when there are better opportunities.
