Pros

Capital One has a pretty good vacation benefit. The work from home is specially a good reason to work at Capital One. The company also allows flexible work hours. This is specially beneficial for those of us who have a lot of other responsibilities. As the company continues to expand into other financial areas, it makes the job more stabilizing. The pay package for a small town like Richmond is better than the average salary. Opportunity to learn new things exist for those who can play the politics. An average severance package, should you be unlucky to get retrenched. Big player in a small town.

Cons

Too much politics in the workplace

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.
