Pros

Good place to get experience in a variety of areas.

Cons

Politics and raging egos run rampant. Unless you are a "golden child" chances of advancement, fairness from managers and positive performance reviews are not likely. Once you are "laid off" or your job is eliminated, you won't be able to crack the door to be considered for open positions or contract positions. Those with over-blown egos will see to that.

Pros

Capital One has allowed me the opportunity to work a very flexible schedule. I have not missed one event for my child or family. I do need to work longer hours at tmes to accomodate this, but it is worth it to me to take time with my family. The people at Capital One are great to work with. It is a very collaborative environment where people want to help one another and it is just one of many reason Capital One is the successful company it is today.

Cons

Compared to other employers, there are limited downsides to working at Capital One. One downside now is that the entire Financial Industry is not ideal to work in, but Capital One is leading their peers in terms of weathering the storm. There are times when you work a lot of hours, but the flexibility that is offered and provided equals that out. There is a competitive environment at Capital One, but in a good way. Everyone is always striving to be the best and be on the A Team. It's still very team oriented and the competitiveness is not intended to be a negative thing, but for those that are not into that environment, this may not be the place for them.
