Pros
Decent pay for a bank
Cons
Capital One might've been a good company to work at at some point, but not anymore. The company is overrun by narcissists, sociopaths, and ex-Amazon hires. As an engineer, you'll have little growth opportunities as every day the only things that matter are influence and posturing yourself against others. It's common to have your managers steal credit for your work and play carrot on the stick when it comes to promotions. It's also likely you'll get a PIP in your first 6 months, as many teams hire people as PIP fodder to protect their existing teams. If you're lucky enough to make it past, you'll be in a never-ending battle of toxicity and meaningless work. Internal tools and platforms are unintuitive and poorly done, and everything has a process or some crappy platform you have to use. If you're not building, you're probably dealing with "ETBs" or busy work like patching vulnerabilities. After working at many companies, this is the worst place I've seen: toxic culture, PIP factory, and abysmal engineering practices. Strongly do not recommend.
