Pros
Capital One truly has some of the best talent around, particularly when it comes to risk and credit policy. The pay is "competitive", and by competitive, I mean average or just above. Capital One, like many other employers, aims to curb cash compensation with other perks, like vacation and flexible work arrangements. It's also historically been very heavy on H1B work visas. If those things are important to you, it can be a great place.
Cons
My last department had a 1-2% annual promotion rate, shortly before reorganizing and laying off half the the group, despite rigorous performance managment, high ratings, and raises and bonuses to boot. However, promotion rates were inconsistent across the organization.
