      Squid Game - Distinguished Engineer Capital One Employee Review

      Pros

      Short commute, large scale technical problem, ok salaries, seemingly nice coworkers (who actually may complain to your boss behind your back）

      Cons

      Employees are rewarded for visibility rather than meaningful result. Success is measured by how much attention one attracts. Coworkers often talk behind people's back and then complain to the boss. People organize meaningless meetings for competition to be seen rather than real collaboration. Leadership teams have short term optics vs long term outcomes driving decisions looking good in the moment rather than what sustains long term success. Squid game to PIP 12-15% every 6 months. Lots of new hiring from FAANG companies and some of those are really rude and toxic.

      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.
