Capital One - Great Place to Work

Pros

Compensation, Benefits. Capital One is probably one of the leading financial service companies in terms of pay. I've seen VPs and above at other institutions come to Capital One, receive a lower 'title', yet make significantly more than they were making at their prior employer. Work is interesting as well, particularly as we attempt to integrate 2 regional banks that we brought within the last couple of years.

Cons

Bureacracy. Capital One got in trouble with Regulators a few years back for the lack of a formalized compliance program, so of course the company did what any institution does in those situations, which is to over-engineer their remediation efforts. This has caused the company to become less nimble and innovative as it used to be.

Pros

Great pay, relative to a lot of other employers - bonuses are individually based not company performance based - I always got a bonus there. Excellent work life balance - its really your choice whether you want to work a lot and advance more quickly or have a balance and progress more steadily. A highly analytical place, not for someone who repulses numbers.

Cons

Its gotten very big and it makes things frustratingly slow to get done. With a lot of growth and change there have been some areas of downsizing, but who hasn't seen that in this environment.
