Pros

Great people to work with and work is extremely rewarding. If you're lucky, you won't have any competition for promotions on your team and get fast tracked for being the only one doing work.

Cons

Stacked Rankings pits everyone against each other. Even if you hit all of the benchmarks for promotion, you may not get it because so does everyone else on your team. Not to mention constant reorganizations often means your great relationship with leadership means nothing if they're reassigned every 6 months and you're left having to convince a new manager you've done great work the past year.

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.
