Pros

Capital One is a flexible work environment. There is freedom in how you spend your day and there are opportunities to expand your knowledge in different areas and work towards various professional certifications.

Cons

Capital One seems to have had its heyday in the late 90s and early 2000s. Those who were hired recently (within the last three years) see little opportunity for growth/advancement on a macro level within the company or in creativity on an individual role level. Currently, the company is more interested in maintaining the status quo rather than building creative or exciting products. Also, due to the compensation structure and performance management cycle, promotion and salary are based almost completely on an employee's direct manager (who may or may not have been involved in that employee actual performance) instead of how they actually performed. Therefore, doing an excellent job or going above an beyond does not equal promotion or high ratings.

Great place to work, particularly for development. People are kind

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.
