Pros

The company has a generous 401k match and will contribute up to 7.5% of your salary. There is also an ESPP with company match up to 2.25% of your salary. Currently hybrid with Mondays and Fridays remote. Office (depending on your location) has subsidized food so lunch can be cheap.

Cons

Free food and snacks are up to your LOB and budgets are pretty strict so people are stingy. A lot of stress around stack ranking. You’re expected to go above and beyond just to keep up with peers.

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.
