Pros

Good technologies, Nice office/campus, learning opportunities.

Cons

Performance management is the worst part, where people recognized how much they talk and how good the relationship you have with management. You can talk like, I can create a diamond from the air, and talk it loud and talk the same, though that is not possible in real and you will be recognized. Ineffective game-players can get a better rating than people who work hard and dedicated. And they might put you in coaching plan, if you are in the lower bucket, learn how to make a diamond from the air. And if your manager doesn't like you, because you don't go every day and say good morning, then you are in bad luck. People may smile at you all the time, but they will not hesitate to give bad feedback for the mistake you have not done which might be interpreted as you did it. One of my friend told one day... "here snakes are everywhere", which makes perfect sense. If you want to work in a friendly environment, where people treat each other in (not fake)compassion, this is not the place. You may get some money/benefits, but not worth the quality of time you are spending with your colleague.

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.
