Vantaggi

Decent place to work with good salary and benefits like $1000 match on FSA, 7.5% 401K match, Stock purchase program etc. Great benefits in case of layoffs. Good work/life balance. Convenient location and conveniences like gym and nurse practitioner on site.

Svantaggi

They try to hire really good people based on aptitude, but not enough focus on technical skills. A very competitive culture that fosters distrust and people always doing this for visibility and getting good points for year end appraisal. Forced rankings in the year end performance process. In IT, too many people who talk a lot and come up with list of bullet points, but very few people who understand technology and can help when there are problems. In IT, too many managers who seem more interested in climbing the corporate ladder, but lack any strong technical background.

Vantaggi

Capital One is a tech-first company. Most of the latest tech skills, tools, and practices are implemented. Most teams have interesting work where you learn and get to apply your skills.

Svantaggi

Often, the new development work is assigned to the full-time employees. Access to many of the tools is also restricted to the FT employees

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.
