Wasted years at Capitalone

Principal business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance was good. Gym was really wonderful and healthy food options were available. There were some interesting, intelligent people working in the company.

Cons

Capitalone does not care for career growth. Does not matter how much money I made for Capitalone, I did not get promoted. Sometime I felt racial bias. You would see highly qualified people with MBA, consulting experience doing poorly in the year end calibration process whereas no nothing white undergrad is treated as the master of the universe. Then your manager gets changed every 3-6 months. Capitalone is good as a starting place but one should not stay there more than two years. I made the mistake of staying there close to 4 years and I could not get back those years..

Business Outlook

Pros

- Intelligent (mostly), diverse group of work colleagues - In house gym rocks, twice a week personal training sessions included in monthly fee of just $15 - Associates given a wide range of career options to switch. Not boxed in unless you want to specialize. See below for con on promo path

Cons

- Promotion path not very clear or consistent within groups - Home Loans business on a churn and burn path for the last 5 years. Superstars and promotees one day and fired the next.
