Capital One reviews

I was a data analyst for about a year, but left as soon as I possibly could. I'll just be upfront here - I'm a white woman, and this was a place for Indian men. Almost my entire department was Indian. Really set the culture of the place - I was supposed to be a super meek little woman, without opinions. Racist (against white people) and sexist place - at least in the data analyst sphere. Yikes - stay away! This was such a shock - this was my second job and my previous company had been wonderfully supportive of women, so this was just so weird to me. I was specifically told to hang back, not speak in meetings, not take initiative, etc. When I had the experience, creativity, and intelligence to really make a difference. Such a weird place, the data analyst environment. A real blip on my resume - haven't had any other issues in my career, so I do think it's them, not me.

Capital One might've been a good company to work at at some point, but not anymore. The company is overrun by narcissists, sociopaths, and ex-Amazon hires. As an engineer, you'll have little growth opportunities as every day the only things that matter are influence and posturing yourself against others. It's common to have your managers steal credit for your work and play carrot on the stick when it comes to promotions. It's also likely you'll get a PIP in your first 6 months, as many teams hire people as PIP fodder to protect their existing teams. If you're lucky enough to make it past, you'll be in a never-ending battle of toxicity and meaningless work. Internal tools and platforms are unintuitive and poorly done, and everything has a process or some crappy platform you have to use. If you're not building, you're probably dealing with "ETBs" or busy work like patching vulnerabilities. After working at many companies, this is the worst place I've seen: toxic culture, PIP factory, and abysmal engineering practices. Strongly do not recommend.
