Vantaggi
Levels do not matter when it comes to adding input or suggestions/comments/concerns. I have worked in several dept's at Capital One and you truely are treated like an equal no matter if you are entry level, or a Senior level. Capital One gives all its associates the opportunity to learn and grow from those at a higher level and is very patient and encouraging when it comes to personal growth and development.
Svantaggi
The performance management cycle is bittersweet. If you perform well, you are rewarded highly. But, if you work in a large department that means you can get lost in the mix of other associates you are calibrated with at the end of the year. Its hard to stand out and shine if you work within a large group of people at the same level.
