Pros

Work is either very fulfilling or not depending on what department/team you get matched with during team matching.

Cons

Performance Review cycle is a pain and they generally require out of work contributions

Pros

Good talent, decent compensation, insurance and benefits could be better but it’s not the worse out there. Fun campus, food is decent, not a bad place to work at in general but it will totally depends on your team, stay away from the garage.

Cons

Performance reviews are brutal, really short time between mid year and year end reviews, lots of political casualties every cycle…. Everybody works hard and deliver value yet they still get PIP’d. Leadership seems to be reacting all the time instead of planning ahead and clearing the way for the team to actually be productive, lots of bureaucratic work that goes nowhere, lots of enterprise requirements that never end… process thrives and productivity dies at capital one. Capital one is burnout central.

Pros

Benefits and campus buildings are nice

Cons

* Lying is not only acceptable, but encouraged by leadership. * Horrible internal tech stack. * Insanely stressful workspace worsened by the stupidity around performance management. * Out of touch leadership with no vision or mission * Grossly understaffed Literally anything and everything outside of benefits and buildings are a con. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
