Capital One reviews

Management creates a toxic workplace. The twice yearly review process discourages teamwork and kills morale by forcing managers to put 20% or more of their reports on a performance plan or terminiating them. This is no way to create a good work environment or culture. Promotions are subject to cronyism and engineers are encouraged to look out only for themselves. Valuable, high-performing engineers are not developed or promoted. With the recent Chicago lay-off announcements, morale is terrible. It seems like the Virginia offices are better places to work, but steer clear of the Chicago and Rolling Meadows locations if you are looking for a safe workplace. There is no opportunity there.

There are quite a bit of lifers in middle management at Capital One Canada. These lifers are pretty much stuck and content or even happy. They get paid at less 100k base salary for delivering the quality of work of a junior consultant. Sweet Deal, Right? The chance of transitioning to a big 5 bank probably means a pay cut or running the risk of being the underperformer of a big bank. As these are lifers could only perform in a junior consultant level, the top tech firms like apple, google, amazon, etc, probably won't take them and tech startups mean getting a pay cut and doing REAL work, so NO… Staying put is probably in their best interest. They make it incredibly difficult for new hires to settle in. The turnover is pretty high, on average associates stay for least than 2 years. P.S. A lot of the 4-5 stars are fake posts from HR. If you filter the rating from highest to lowest, you would notice that there are not a lot people find the posts "helpful" but you filter the rating from lowest to highest, you would notice a lot more people find the post "helpful".
