Pros

- Good culture overall - Great benefits - Coworkers are what makes this company special

Cons

Management recently announced that all employees must return to the office 3 days per week, regardless of their position or preference. This decision has left me feeling incredibly frustrated, as it comes after 2+ years of a successful "flexible hybrid" model where associates were repeatedly told that no return to office mandates would be introduced. It's disappointing to see the leadership team mandate a return to the office without any meaningful justification. The lack of consideration for the well-being and work-life balance of employees is disheartening. Many of us have built our lives and routines around the ability to work remotely, and the sudden change feels like a step backward in terms of progress and innovation. This is especially ironic coming from a company that prides itself in being so different and more innovative than the Big 5 banks.

Pros

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Employee engagement always high priority.

Cons

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Highly focused on sales vs service.

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.
