Capital One reviews

- Getting promoted is tough. It often feels less about the work you do and more about who sees it. Your manager has to be your hype person; if they stay quiet, your career does too. - Job titles can be misleading. A Data Scientist might spend all day writing SQL, while a Business Analyst somehow ends up helping with machine learning. The title says one thing, the calendar says another. - Remote work is mostly gone. The laptop is still portable, but apparently you are not. - There is a fair amount of office politics. Sometimes doing the work is only half the job; the other half is making sure the right people know you did it. - Data teams do not always get the respect they deserve. Business teams often treat them less like strategic partners and more like “the people who fix the spreadsheet.”

People spend more energy managing upward and playing politics than actually delivering value. The good talent recognizes this early and leaves, accelerating the decline further. If you’re looking for a place to develop your skills and build something meaningful, look elsewhere
