Capital One reviews

- Awful performance management system. Twice a year calibration against peers, Apples to oranges comparison, with a mandatory forced distribution twice a year. So meeting expectations or even exceeding them in some cases can lead to poor ratings. Your manager owns your rating and therefore your life. Makes being a people leader here absolutely unbearable, and being an IC even harder. The process is extremely subjective and highly political. Playing politics and being a favorite of the leadership team is the only way to really survive long term. - Extremely political place with a lot of toxic leaders and aggressive personalities across the board. Very cutthroat place. - Culture of fear increasing by the day. - Internal mobility is difficult. Manager gets notified when an associate applies to a new role. - Cannot move internally at all if rating is "Below Strong"

Toxic and death of the culture, High expectations, Cut-throat/Political environment, Unethical performance management and handling of associate conflicts, Constant turnover and reports, constant HR incidents, Favoritism, You will have to listen to the CEO fake-cry every year at his all hands which takes multiple days. The culture of the design team completely shifted from human-focused to performance-focused when the contract for the members of Adaptive Path left and Amazon executives came on board.
