      Capital One reviews

      If you like coding, don't work here

      Software engineer
      Current employee
      Nottingham, England
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Excellent company benefits. Unrivalled pension (Match up to 8% then they add 3%). Subsidised food and free gym. Competitive Salary Good tech stack Awesome people -- incredibly talented

      Cons

      Note: this is a very Engineering-specific job review. It won't apply to other areas. -You can't get anything done. -None of the work you have to do can be done by knuckling down and getting on with it. Nearly every task you have depends in some way on another team and on factors outside of your control. However, if you don't make it work, you will be punished for it in your performance review. -Most of the day-to-day work will involve working with processes, rather than code. If you like processes more than code, then this is the place for you. -And if you raise these concerns via their All associate survey, *you* will be tasked with fixing them and punished for not doing so. Toxic positivity is a phrase that comes to mind, because you also can't voice any negativity. -The hybrid working policy is a mess and is enforced by monitoring your card swipe data in office. It's a moving goalpost that changed from 2 days per week to 3 days.

      PIP factory - please learn that stack-ranking breeds toxicity

      Senior associate software engineer
      Current employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Solid pay for non-tech company -Relaxed, based on team -Good 401k match

      Cons

      -stack-ranking Bi-annually with 8-15% marked as below-strong, which is now an automatic PIP regardless of tenure -leadership does not listen to concerns and will continue to spew nonsense on priorities and goals they've created to push their own influence -large influx of leadership that are ex-Amazon, bringing over the same toxic culture -Code often rewritten only to provide substance for performance reviews
