Pros

Nice working environment and some good technical guys there. some interesting projects.

Cons

there is most certainly a core clique of people who create a campaign of propaganda and most certainly do not like honest opinions. If you speak your mind regards project deliverables, strategy or staff members who are clearly playing a game then prepare to have your card marked and be rounded on by the stasi "This is the cap One way" police. Long time serving staff at Cap One have been slowly brainwashed by the Capital one ethics. The one upmanship approach is encouraged, staff are passive aggressively managed out of the business if the face or opinion does not fit. Many very talented people joining from external organisations rarely stick around as they see and experience the wrath of this unhealthy culture. On the outside it looks like fun and enjoyable but underneath there is a very protective and somewhat nieve group of people who only care about how good you can make them look. Very divisive and intrinsic.

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.

Pros

Great people. Relaxed atmosphere with a good work life balance. The product I was working was pretty interesting.

Cons

Large company thus understandably has many processes. Some of these processes can feel like a burden. Company has recently downsized but I also hear they are hiring. So the previous environment I was working in is likely undergoing many changes.
