Pros

- competitive pay - work schedule flexibility including hybrid work setting - modern technology stack

Cons

- Zero job security, constant layoffs - Stack ranking, PIP will constantly keep you in anxiety - Managers are great at increasing your anxiety by constantly reminding you about the cutthroat stack ranking process every 2 weeks in one on one conversation - Workload can be very high and you never know how much work is enough as "the bar is always rising" - Poorly trained middle managers can make your life miserable through micromanagement and poorly managed workload

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.
