It all depends on what department you're in

Principal coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Management tends to be very flexible and allows for flexible work arrangements, either permanently or on a temporary basis. This included either working a full day from home or a portion. The gym at the main West Creek campus is great, never too crowded, knowledgeable trainers, a 5 minute or less walk from any building...and you can't beat the $15 per month fee.

Cons

Some departments are either to advance in than others, and even then it depends on your manager. I know of more than a few people who have been promoted 2+ times since they moved out of my department (within the past 2 years), but yet no one within my department has been promoted at all

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of great things about the company, some of the things I like most are: - Extremely smart and competent people to work with and learn from - Complete empowerment to associates at all levels - Very young, highly energetic, and collaborative culture - Culture encourages debating different points points of view - Very open top management with a lot of respect for people at all levels - Very balance work/life balance for their level of compensation

Cons

No place is perfect and Capital One is no exception: - Main focus is on developing and rewarding analytical skills and less on leadership development - Growth opportunities are started to become limited - Hard to differentiate yourself amongst such a great group of smart people leading
