Pros

Capital One provides great work/life balance. Everyone takes great pains to be polite and supportive. There are a number of courses provided by Capital one university to ensure that the employees know how to get along with one another. There is extreme fairness in year-end evaluations and promotions. It takes a good 40 hours every year-end to perform all of the evaluations and cross-calibrations to make sure everyone is assessed fairly in relation to their peers.

Cons

Senior managers are typically not experts in their departments' core competencies. Therefore, SME employees in the department must "pitch" their ideas for projects to management, progressing slowly along a long learning curve for the manager. To make matters worse, it seems like just about the time your manager finally does "get it," he or she is whisked away to lead some other unrelated department. and the employees must train a new manager.

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
