Pros

Some teams, especially ones led by and reporting to employees who were with capital for a long time are still awesome all around

Cons

Capital One hired a lot of senior managers, directors and VPs from companies that are known for exploiting people and burning their old companies down. This rapid intake of toxicity resulted in complete change in culture and company's values. You will be graded and promoted based on your visibility, not your contributions or performance.

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.
