Pros

Good people for the most part. My group tries to have flexible work days and telecommuting but there just doesn't seem to be 100% buy-in by Sr. Mgmt. Lots of responsibility if you want it.

Cons

Culture can be difficult to get used to. Pay is well below similar positions at other companies and benefits are more costly. Lots of technical issues even though they claim to be tech savvy. My area is very production oriented so there isn't much work/life balance. Not enough time in the day to get all the work done. Not enough vacation time for mid-career hires but it doesn't really matter when most managers and above end up working most of their vacations.

Pros

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Employee engagement always high priority.

Cons

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Highly focused on sales vs service.

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.
