Pros

Capital One provides great work/life balance. Everyone takes great pains to be polite and supportive. There are a number of courses provided by Capital one university to ensure that the employees know how to get along with one another. There is extreme fairness in year-end evaluations and promotions. It takes a good 40 hours every year-end to perform all of the evaluations and cross-calibrations to make sure everyone is assessed fairly in relation to their peers.

Cons

Senior managers are typically not experts in their departments' core competencies. Therefore, SME employees in the department must "pitch" their ideas for projects to management, progressing slowly along a long learning curve for the manager. To make matters worse, it seems like just about the time your manager finally does "get it," he or she is whisked away to lead some other unrelated department. and the employees must train a new manager.

Pros

A lot of oppotunities and a young feeling company. I got to work in France, USA and Madrid in my role. Some peopel there are very good and there is a collective energy in the office which makes working there a pleasure. There is a lot of fun in the office with a fun budget where every quarter you get a day out paid for by the company (bowling / meal / day out doing something etc)

Cons

Obsessed by soft skills, sometimes forgetting about the core work itelsf. Also some management were promoted, put in management of people positions who were very poor people skills.
