Vantaggi
There WERE several pros to working at capital one: - good work life balance - strong family culture - modern technology - investment in associates - focus on using the latest and greatest tech - reasonably competitive salary for low stress
Svantaggi
All of the above has been eroded except for maybe the high WLB. There is still not much to do, as a lot of leaderships focus is on using a chainsaw to cut a sandwich. Theres a lot of talk about generative AI and using LLM's, but the amount of engineering work is nonexistent. Additionally, most of the time is spent on compliance and forcing everything to fit a standard but bad structure. We are solving the wrong problem but very efficiently. I have always complained about the poor practices at capital one but sucked it up for the chill WLB, but recently after 4 years I got PIP'd for no good reason! Their bizarre performance management practices are suddenly throwing random people into a PIP and firing them! So now its just a bad engineering culture with none of the coasting benefits! AVOID
