Pros

Competitive compensation, benefits package second to none, very bright people in both management and non-management roles, professionalism and respect are highly valued. If you are looking for a work environment with professionalism, respect, and some very capable people, definitely consider Capital. The list could go on....

Cons

Road to upper-management is long. The culture is very conservative, so you must tread lightly.

Pros

The best reasons to work for this company are: Compensation Benefits Work-Life Balance Great offices (very bright)

Cons

The downsides of working here are: Very limited opportunities for growth and learning as new employee. Loyalty and tenure are more respected than new opinions. As a privately held company, there is no push for diversity. No female initiatives. Hardly any women at the top. Very homogenous staff. Very traditional-conservative and hierarchical (even with the marketing push for an "egalitarian" and "flat" structure) Little respect for new thoughts/ideas Teamwork is not encouraged Focus on research, research and more research, so new initiatives take too long to get off the ground

Pros

Its hard to mention all of them. For starters, the collaborative culture, the number of capable people, the respect shown to individuals, the pay and benefits, the informal style, the history and legacy of the company, the minimal status symbols, a focus on corporate citizenship and in general, the thoughtful approach to everything the company does. Capital is a company you can be proud to work for.

Cons

Things may move at a slower pace then you are used to at other companies. The other side of that though is that decisions tend to be correct for the long term.
