Pros

Extremely intelligent, driven people Ability to move around from job to job - which can be unrelated to previous experience (moves are based on skill level, but there's a downside because people can take highly specialized positions without prior experience) In some areas of the company - great flexibility with work schedule, hours, location - 'future of work' modality

Cons

Salaries and benefits decreased over time to accommodate becoming a bank vs. credit card company, Performance management process is cumbersome Success depends on manager who will fight for you Inconsistencies in 'flexible work' environment - vary from department to department and individual to individual Some legacy employees who joined Capital One when very young are still young and in very (too) senior positions

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.
