Master Software Engineer (Manager)
Pros
decent salary, 7.5% 401k match, perks not that bad when compared with other traditional organizations like capital one.
Cons
capital one preaches one and practices one. you will be able to see this across all layers of management. every year when i speak to my directors they speak about promotion opportunities and expect you to make a difference in the organization etc., etc., and finally award promotion to non technical talents because there is no growth path for technical people who wants to stay technical. as you see upwards of the management hierarchy, all of them are from non technical background and hence they don't really like technical talents except for getting work done through them. only 1/10 will be technical talent and there will be a huge crowd of people who you will deal with everyday and get frustrated. you might start feeling very dumb over a period of time because the environment is not fostering enough.
