Vantaggi
Genuinely really great and talented people working here, and the intended work-life balance is pretty good, but I say intended for a reason
Svantaggi
It's been said a thousand times, the performance review here is terrible. It encourages you to not help your teammates because their success is necessarily your loss, and their loss is your gain. I know people try to ignore that aspect, but when it gets close to that review period there is a distinct increase in wait time to get PR reviews and large decrease in help from teammates. It's a terrible incentive structure and absolutely hurts team morale and cooperation; plus it destroys any semblence of the work-life balance Capital One professes to have. You need to be better. Your managers will tell you to get off at 5 but everyone knows that at the end of the day, you work as much as it takes to do better than your teammates. It's a dog-eat-dog culture and nobody likes it. As an asside don't plan on working your way up here, getting promotions is a real bear of a task and your work-life balance is going to get so much worse in order to get there.
