Pros

While I worked at Capital One, my team was super helpful and collaborative, there were lots of ways to get involved outside of my day-to-day, and WLB was great. Pay was less than FAANG but still pretty solid.

Cons

Stacked ranking is killing the company, especially when leadership makes poor decisions and has to change the amount of poor performers from 8% to 20% as an excuse to lay people off. WLB is definitely team dependent, and performance reviews often come down to who you know, how well your manager can vouch for you, and how hard the other people on your level work.

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.
