Cap One used to be a great place to work for.

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great intelligent people- extremely smart and relaxed. Very good pay and benefits. Flexible work schedule. Capital One used to be truly a great place to work for- it was hard to complain and I think most of the collegues agree on that. Lately, the growth slowed impacting career progression. Plus Cap One is struggling to integrate traditional banks acquired. They do not fit in the legacy culture of Cap One.

Cons

Limited carreer growth opportunity. Risk of tough regulations. Profitability not certain which may impact bonus for 2010 and beyond. There is a heavy bonus component 40- 60% at Director level which may be at risk with declining profits in tough economic conditions.

Pros

Quality of people and coworkers, very bright group, plenty of opportunities to learn and gain experience

Peer review process is a little like survivor island - sometimes caters more to relationships between peer review managers than actual performance

Senior Analyst - Review

Senior analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Above average pay, certain groups (in Richmond) are given very flexible schedules -- I've heard the majority of employees work 9AM to 5PM. I enjoy my immediate team and people are quite friendly here (I'm not certain how sincere it is, but I have lots of professional friends from the company)

Cons

Very political internally, advancement track is unclear / no "career maps", benefits average; I am expected to come to work in Mclean from 8AM to 7PM most days -- I think the firm talks about "work/life balance" but I'm some times not convinced it is a value of the firm. (<- it could be a Mclean thing).
