Pros

This is not like working for a normal bank. Capital One sees itself as a software company and it shows in where they are putting their time, effort, money and recruiting into. You are given the freedom to come up with creative technology solutions. They encourage use of open source tools and looking for the best solution. Pretty relaxed atmosphere. Lots of room in the organization to try different roles out.

Cons

The performance review process creates a very competitive culture. You are looking for ways to make yourself stand out from the group and it can take away from the Agile team approach.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
