Pros

Great benefits and campus amenities. Lots of great talent to work with on a daily basis. Decent bonus and 401K matching up to 7.5%

Cons

Salaries are not competitive with the local market. Management plays favorites with promotions and withholds internal moves on a regular basis. Massive re-orgs one to two times a year, plus layoffs due to closing Home Loans. All software for internal use is developed in house and is poorly designed by people on work visas and not supported past launch - many are abandoned by the business within a year and we do internal business on spreadsheets.

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.
