Pros

-TDP program is great for straight out of college hires -Use modern tech stack with modern processes -Generally pretty nice people and environment in the office but this can vary based on where you end up, some teams and leaders are toxic or just plain bad at leadership

Cons

-Culture has shifted to start imitating Amazon more and more in all the bad way, less benefits, less money spent on employees, tighter deadlines, regular layoff cycles -If you aren't a manager or a recent grad, avoid this place. TDPs get preferential treatment and will likely get paid more than you even if you are a more senior position. -Started as remote optional, than 50% of the days in office, now 3 days in the office minimum, wouldn't be surprised if it becomes 5 days mandatory soon. - If you are not self motivated, this environment is not for you. They don't hold your hand at all, and this will prevent you from promotions. - Promotions are rare even for good performers

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.
