Capital One reviews

Performance Management - You are expected to essentially compete against other people of your level. Even if you perform pretty well for your project and your team approves of your work, it may not be enough. Technology - Since there has been such a shift to use new technologies, there is a lot of change within the technology stack. If you use an application which integrates with other new applications/systems, there is definitely some growing pains and a learning curve. - Still in the process of updating legacy software and integrating with legacy systems. Still need some time to fully go modern in terms of the stack. - Agile is pushed but there still needs to be refinement in terms of how it's implemented. Not sure how different organizations handle this, but there needs to be a FULL buy in from all parties (business and tech) otherwise it leads to many inefficiencies and Agile in name. Environment - Probably a case of preference, but it's mostly an open floor plan. Some people can be loud across the room and you can hear them. - I wish work from home was more acceptable on a regular basis. It is definitely possible to do this occasionally but it is not encouraged. This is also probably team dependent.

Highly political environment and managers are like clan leaders. A very hierarchical environment. COF wants to portray as a cutting edge technology company, while the core business is financial services. Everyone is after the "coolness factor" and just hop on buzzwords like cloud, big data, devops etc. and there is too much talk and no much output. Changes are too frequent, and layoffs at unexpected time, when you think the company is doing great. Recently, management thinks software programming is the only great job and wants all IT folks to do coding work.
