Pros

You can get the training you need and take this elsewhere. Capital One overall is a huge company with many employees. My manager was very supportive and was a great manager in handling all aspects of my performance. We sat down weekly to discuss issues, concerns, new projects and all other things that my job encompassed. I fully enjoyed my job and was happy and content with it. Capital One does offer decent training programs for its employees and you can be rest assurred that if training is needed they will find a way for you to get it. Thanks.

Cons

The review process. You can be a top performer but since they base their decisions not on how you are doing, but how your are compared with others. Say you have 5 great people and they are all doing a great job, the Capital One system forces you to make one of them the worst of the 5 and have them put on a performance plan. It is a idiotic system. Of course C1 brainwashes you to believe that doing this makes the company perform better. to an extent this may be true, but I believe it causes more hardship and grief every year, when people are pitted against each other for their raise and job.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
