Capital One reviews

I have been a Product Manager with Capital One for 3 years. My roles and responsibilities have drastically changed multiple times over the course of my time. The stack ranking is just as bad as everyone says it is. I’ve witnessed amazing, capable and productive individuals in all job families be put in PIPs for ambiguous reasons. There’s too many layers of leadership making delivery difficult due to a constant shifts in priorities. When your project is deprioritized due to circumstances out of your control there’s a target on your back during the review cycle. It’s psychological abuse.

The stack ranking process during the mid-year and end-of-year reviews has caused a lot of anxiety amongst employees. Doing everything that is expected of you on a day-to-day basis is simply not enough, and you will get low ratings if you do make sure that you go above and beyond on everything, and there is a huge emphasis on getting "face time" with upper management. If you find yourself if an office where there isn't a lot of upper management, you will find this to be a very difficult to task. Many teams are also very overworked. Although there have been numerous times that employee surveys have indicated lack of trust in leadership and feeling burnt out, nothing happens aside from them saying "we will work on it" and giving us a free lunch.
