Run. Don’t walk.

Senior learning associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is good as are the benefits. Travel opportunities especially abroad.

Cons

Awful culture. Stacked rankings pits associates against one another. Lots of back stabbing and lots of throwing others under the bus. Leadership is awful. Most move up from being an agent with no business education or skills. You have to be in someone’s pocket to rank strong or higher. They have a tendency to weed out people of a certain age yet they claim they are so diverse. Another laugh is that they’re a technology company. You have to wait forever for websites to load. Everything crashes on a regular basis. If you’re thinking of applying here, seriously think again.

Generally ok experience

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Offices have good amenities.

Cons

Frequent re org and business changes. Frequent layoffs. Promotions are more political than merit based. Performance reviews are biannual and require 15% of people to get no raise or bonus and fast tracked out the door.

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Literally none different than compared to other Software Companies in current market

Cons

If change happens too frequently, progress is negative. This was too logical to even be a leadership principle. To save his job and past failures, the CTO has gone crazy implementing things without looking at all terms of risks. Layoffs happen every day and hiring happens everyday since last 3 years. Like a kid, show anything fancy to Capital One and they will adopt it without a thought.
