Vantaggi

Great pay and benefits. It's dumb to force people into the office but they're pretty flexible about it. Seem to slowly be ratcheting up return to office, it was 2 days when I started, then it went to 3 so expect it to keep going up.

Svantaggi

At mid and end year reviews they fire 10-15% off staff going by stacked ranking. This means even if you're good at your job you can get fired if the rest of your team is perceived better in some way. It leads to a culture of favoritism and stifles collaboration because we're all basically competing against each other. You have one on ones with your manager every 2 weeks. After getting nothing but praise at these meetings, suddenly at mid year reviews there was a BIG PROBLEM with how I handled something from 6 months ago. So terrible that they put me on a PIP. Why didn't we talk about this before? There were so many chances to help me fix this alleged problem, but success and results aren't the point, they just needed to sacrifice someone. Saw it happen to others before it happened to me and they tried to work through it and fix the "problem" with their work, only to get fired anyway. They were hard workers who were good at their jobs and did not deserve that humiliation. I just quit rather than go through such a humiliation ritual. A few years ago I was a lot less confident in myself and this would have crushed me, but fortunately I was able to see it for what it was.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
