UK-based company, US-led work culture - Recensione dipendente - Business Analyst presso Capital One

The fact that Capital One is American-owned is all too obvious once you get past the superficial sweeteners of work perks. Despite taking on many new employees during the pandemic, with remote working being an accepted practice, the company has slowly been manipulating staff back into the office because it cannot bear to lose the easy access to monitor their employees or let them remember that they have a life outside of their corporate family. Despite an overwhelming amount of studies highlighting that productivity and output actually increased with working flexibility, this is clearly not a motivator for Capital One. Initially starting off with a soft approach of recommending that staff spend time commuting to the office each week, this then progressed to two mandatory days in the office, before being moved to three mandatory days per week and action being taken against staff whose key cards haven't been detected swiping in on the designated office days. There is more to life than putting up with being treated as property.
