Pros

Good Benefits, on site cafe, great training opportunities, lots of fun activities on and off campus,

Cons

Lot of H1B, Tendency to Hire H1B and fire citizens or GC holders. Last year, COF laid off a lot of people but I don't believe a single H1B employee was affected at least not in Plano. Loan Servicing technology middle management is made up of ex-WIPRO employees with no prior experience to working for a US based company resulting in Managers who don't know the ABC's of management. I have seen Managers talk down to people,shout at people in meetings (especially at contractors who cannot fight back), be condescending and just downright rude. Lot of politics. You need to suck up if you have to get ahead or even get a good rating. Employees are constantly compared to their peers which hampers team spirit. There are other divisions in the company where things are much better than what it is in Loan Servicing IT. There were multiple management changes and each VP brings with him/her an idea of what technology we need to use. This results in Engineers having to become jack of all trades and master of none. If someone cannot keep up with learning new tech every 6 months, then your mgr will get the chance to give you a negative rating, either forcing you to quit the company or fire you so they can hire a H1B.

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
