Great Flexibility

Pros

We are only returning to office one day a week on a permanent basis, which is a very flexible stance for the industry. Overall, work-life balance is great, and the culture is spectacular. If you want to live in California or near another office location, this is a fabulous place to work.

Cons

Despite being very flexible with the amount employees are required to actually be in office, Capital will not allow permanent remote work or allow employees to live beyond commuting distance from what is considered their home office. This seems like a frustrating line in the sand to draw for a company that has gone almost totally remote in the Global Investment Control department. I'm afraid I will eventually leave to move back to the midwest. I will not be able to keep my job with Capital's current standards since my department doesn't have presence there. I'm not sure why one day a week makes such a huge difference to Capital leadership.
