Vantaggi

Kind of relaxed hybrid requirements for orgs that have it, with a few remote orgs. Quite a bit of hands of experience with the cloud. This used to be good as Capital One to Amazon pipeline for talents.

Svantaggi

Very low pay for senior software engineers. Poor base salary, no stock options, and laughably low bonus for this level. Lack of stability due to twice a year PIP culture with long performance review cycles with management forced to put people on the chopping block. Toxic work culture due to two performance reviews per year and constantly being pushed to deliver results. Terrible pay for something at if not exceeding Amazon's PIP culture. Constantly working with outdated tech such as Java and a lot of red tape to gain access to resources and services. Months, if not years for new technologies and systems to be approved. Due to the above, working at Capital One can become toxic by association and can make it much harder to find future roles at more prestigious companies. Many of the most talented people quickly leave for better opportunities.

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.
