Pros

Most of the people you work with are genuinely good people, a few actually care about you. This does not include anyone that's a manager or above, however.

Cons

Oh God where to start. First the in-office situation is untenable. In addition to lack of meeting spaces, terrible parking availability, and an open office that does not allow for productive work, it is really unfortunate how employees are forced into a ranked performance system where great employees are given below average ratings solely to satisfy the ranking metrics. Heaven help you if you have a manager that isn't particularly good at their job, they will throw you under the bus time and time again to cover their behinds. RTO has been an utter disaster, forcing people to come back to the office only to spend their days on Zoom which is just as easily accomplished at home. Leadership never ever ever ever admits they're wrong or they've made a mistake, no matter how glaringly obvious it is. This is not the Capital One from 10 years ago which was a vibrant, engaging, great place to work.

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.
