Capital One Senior Software Developer reviews

Recruiters try to hire you at a level where once you join you'll realize that people with lesser skills than you are at higher levels just by virtue of being in the same place for a long time. Inspite of their shift from being hands-off to vendors to being hands-on engineers, sr. managers and directors are all non-technical folks. This is a challenge in terms of growing as an engineer. Pay hikes each year are measly. Promotions are not evaluated by an independent group, the people managers get together and decide and a lot of value is given to handling "visible" work and "coordination" rather than "complex" work.

Still has remnants of offshoring/contracting culture. Tech people have less visibility. Additionally, unless you push yourself, this job alone will not be too rigorous. I often have to work with less capable and effectively tenured employees
