Pros

Interesting project work. Very smart, talented coworkers. Ability to do new things. It doesn't get stale and you are always challenged. Everybody gets a laptop and Blackberry, and the technology tools available are fairly good. There is some flexibility to work remotely, but there are few, if any, professional positions that are advertised as being remote jobs.

Cons

Very heavy on standard, procedures, and process. It's a bank, after all, and heavily regulated. The work environment is "mobile." That means it's so crowded it's like working in an ant hill. Every time they "restack" the work spaces, you end up with less room. Agile work team spaces are like being in pre-school. Everybody sits around a table elbow to elbow and I got two colds and two sinus infections in the first four months with my team. They are leasing new buildings and creating more space, but oh boy is it crowded.

Pros

It's a very good place to work. It is very business oriented but still manages to be a playful and enjoyable place to work. Good people, good pay, and good benefits.

Cons

Work can get tedious from time to time but that's almost all jobs. Just general office issues nothing specific to COAF.

Pros

Capital One is very big on showing it's employees that upward movement is possible as long as the employee is open to feedback and can assimilate that feedback into daily practice.

Cons

Capital One is a very conservative company in regards to the risks it is willing to take which seems to put them at a competitive disadvantage. Employees spend a lot of time checking the box on regulatory training.
