Vantaggi

you could work here for the rest of your life

Svantaggi

This place is absolute garbage. The culture is unbelievably toxic - people stopped addressing me in the 3rd person and just started addressing me in the 2nd person, e.g., "You will work 22 hours tomorrow" or "you will work 14 hours every saturday for the next 6 months, with no possiblity of vacation". The work life balance is non existent to say the least. I was promised I would be a software engineer and get to do what I love, but instead I'm just a janitor to work through these terrible internal processes and tools that are poorly defined and don't work 90% of the time. Literally everything I'm told to do is high priority fire drills that need to be resolved yesterday. This has been a complete waste of my life and is nothing but a red mark on my resume. I'm getting a raise with my next job, and cap 1 is even taking back my sign on bonus, so monetarily there's no reason to work here.

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.
