Great buildings and cafeterias. Make sure you wear a bullet proof vest to deal with the politics. - Director Capital One Employee Review

Pros

Great buildings, grounds and cafeterias. Good benefits. Depending upon the department, very good people to work with - especially in the Financial Services department.

Cons

Technical departments are run by VPs with absolutely NO technical skills or knowledge. They continually make poor decisions based on their lack of industry knowledge. Overall, the company is VERY political. ALWAYS watch your back, no one is immune. Also, the 'future of work' environment requires most people to drag suitcases on wheels to and from work. Unless you're a VP with an office, you do not have a desk - you just occupy a chair at a table with everyone else.

Pros

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Employee engagement always high priority.

Cons

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Highly focused on sales vs service.

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.
