Pros

Most team members you’ll work with are the smartest and sweetest people that makes working there more bearable and great benefits

Cons

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed management being increasingly toxic. Managers gaslight you into believing you don’t know how to do your job properly and make you believe you won’t find a better job opportunity outside of this company. They will nitpick about tasks that are not even in your work scope. Some people’s leaders don’t wanna be held accountable and are ready to throw you under the bus to save themselves as they can be clueless about what you’re working on and do not understand at all although you keep sharing the same information with them but they pretend to understand everything as an act because they have too much ego to ask questions and always forget about updates you give them. Also priorities keep shifting which feels disorganized and feels like I worked for a startup.

Pros

Well-run company that knows its values and lives them out. They hire well, and trust people to do their jobs, and people almost always do. Very tech-forward, and adopts the current tech meta quite well.

Cons

Performance management is a double edged sword. It feels intense, but I get why they do it. And helps me reflect on where Im at. Small price to pay

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.
