Pros

not any. it's so bad.

Cons

The issue with this business, is that associates are either managing too much, managing something they are not good at, or processes and setup at the business make it really hard to deliver results fast. AT THE SAME TIME, managers do not acknowledge this fact, continue to place harsh, unrealistic, and sometimes unsensible expectations on associates, and blame the associates for not working hard enough. These insufficiencies are well obvious in the day-to-day operation of the business. How can leaders blatantly neglect these fundamental challenges the business is going through? This is what pissed us off and why morale is low. What's so difficult about dividing the work a little more fairly? What's so difficult about putting the right person at the right role? What's so difficult about letting go some of your unreasonable expectations? And what's so difficult about reshuffling certain personnel (especially certain leaders) off their current role? Leaders who are trying to make a change, I really hope you take a look at this. No one dares to say this cuz if they did, chances are they will get the blame for being not good enough and risk getting fired. We don't even trust the anonymous surveys to be anonymous.

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.
