Pros

Great compensation Feedback constant Self accountability for results, not work hours Energy Age or seniority does not matter in climbing the ladder

Cons

Treat contractors poorly Open feedback culture mean constant focus on "opportunities," and not trying to find strengths Lots of people trying to create work for themselves to create "visibiliity" and for the sake of saying they changed something More time is spent creating decks and preparing for meetings than actually doing work Expected to answer routine emails at all hours

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.
