Pros

* Capital One's CEO is fantastic and is a tech forward company

Cons

* Performance reviews and bonuses are based upon your relative ranking. * Your bonus is based upon how good you are relative to your peers. * If you're a top performer or have a boss in the room that will lobby for you to be ranked higher than it works out well * If the boss thinks others are better than you then you get the lower ranking then your bonus can be cut in half. Plus you can be laid off when time comes.

Pros

The best salary you'll find in Richmond, VA for this kind of work. Excellent benefits and job perks.

Cons

Performance evaluations twice a year are a nightmare. Managers are told they have to put a certain percentage of their employees in a below average category...even if they're performing at an average or above average level. Everyone is rated compared their peers, even if they don't do the same kind of work. This comparison and forcing managers to rate a certain percentage of their direct reports poorly encourages sabotage and bad-mouthing to ensure coworkers are put in the below average category and not themselves.
