Pros

You get to work with some very intelligent folks (much like yourself, if you are hired). The work is challenging and at times rewarding.

Cons

In my experience, employees are heavily influenced by the discretion of their direct manager (and to some extent, their manager's manager). The performance evaluation system, which ranks employees, may not fully reflect individual contributions and seems to depend significantly on how effectively a manager advocates for their team members. While the company claims to value originality and creativity, I personally felt that ideas and opinions that deviated from the norm were not always welcomed. Additionally, the company's motto, "Change Banking for Good," feels inconsistent with its practices, particularly regarding high interest rates charged to vulnerable credit populations. To me, this seems to conflict with the stated mission of providing opportunities through credit.

Pros

Nice people and truly great work life balance (can be team dependent). Most people are in office 2-3 times a week. Food options are decent (6.8/10) but not as subsidized as I would prefer although they are less pricey than eating out at a Cava/Chipotle.

Cons

Not many, don't have anything to say.

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.
