Pros

One of the very few large banks that you actually believe is trying to keep a morally justifiable course. All of the horrible headlines about big banks during the financial meltdown largely did not apply to Capital One. They are constantly trying new things and expanding into new areas. Their campuses in Richmond and Plano are top notch, and at least when I was there compensation was above average.

Cons

Constant churn internally. Director and up are constantly moved around, often times just to provide change for change's sake. A department that is running well is almost guaranteed to be largely disbanded within a year. Some people enjoy a new job every year, others not so much. Constant heavy pressure to perform with overly ambitious goals set by senior leadership.

Great Benefits

Pros

Great pay, onsite fitness centers, cafeterias, and health center. Benefits are some of the best around. Great people to work with.

Cons

Home Loans is the worst part of the business to be in due to no work life balance and senior management that does not value the people. Try to stay in auto, card, or bank.

Pros

Benefits are good as compared with similar ones. 401K contribution, vocation package and other benefits overall. Compensation is acceptable, but it's not in the top in region area. A lot trainings with lunch free, Xmas party, team party. Nice campus in West Creek and Buildings with nice office. Company have good profits so far.

Cons

Waste your time to work if you want career opportunities. Company is still using 'tech' as old as 10 years ago and try to keep it forever. A Bank company's goal to be 'Technology' ones, but it's not realistic. Senior managers are anxious of their 'performance' to get higher annual bonus, They do not care what is the new and DO CARE WHAT PEOPLE LIE AT STANDING UP MEETING. A lot meetings create 'good' communications with trashes. For example, 10-10, How to listen your boss's lies and flatter them. Agile, How to lie your daily work. Agile grooming, How to generate a lot trash tasks and nobody really cares later. PS: Over 100 people fly from different regions to discuss one or two week tasks for less than 10 people. Richmond JAVA Community, Another trash meeting to benefit special purpose (individually).
