Pros

Work life balance. Flexibility to work from home. 401K match. Potential for significant salary increases at EOY based on Board of Directors.

Cons

No transparency from changing leadership. Performance management is entirely contingent on your direct manager so if they are inexperienced or lack leadership skills, consider yourself screwed. Based on the rating system, associates are self interested and will withhold information from teammates in order to make themselves look good. The company claims they are diverse but they spend an insane amount of money sending leadership to classes and when they come back nothing has changed. Difficult to move departments because there are so many layoffs. No incentive to go above and beyond because there is no recognition unless you beg for it. Misogynistic attitude from the top down. The higher level associate, the greater chance of them acting like you don’t exist. If you are a head-down, get things done kind of a person, this is not the place for you.

Pros

Management is taking some steps in the right direction to become more technology forward. Capital One also has the funds to move in that direction, and has an overall good company vision. Overall work environment was also inviting, and balanced.

Cons

Unfortunately, implementation of the technology bank vision is poor. The company is wasting money hiring way too many engineers at a low bar. These engineers are then managed by non-technical managers for projects that are then randomly killed with poor leadership synchronization.
