Pros

Great intelligent people- extremely smart and relaxed. Very good pay and benefits. Flexible work schedule. Capital One used to be truly a great place to work for- it was hard to complain and I think most of the collegues agree on that. Lately, the growth slowed impacting career progression. Plus Cap One is struggling to integrate traditional banks acquired. They do not fit in the legacy culture of Cap One.

Cons

Limited carreer growth opportunity. Risk of tough regulations. Profitability not certain which may impact bonus for 2010 and beyond. There is a heavy bonus component 40- 60% at Director level which may be at risk with declining profits in tough economic conditions.

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.
