Pros

Do Not Respond to this job post

Cons

Someone is posing as an HR recruiter for The Capital Group but it is a scam. After spending over an hour in a Google Hangouts “interview” done entirely by message (red flag right there), I contacted the company HQ in Irvine Calif. they confirmed it as a scam — possibly to get bank and personal info to commit identity fraud. Do Not Respond to these postings!

Thank you for sharing your story; we’re sorry you were caught up in this fraudulent activity. Although this fraudulent behavior is being conducted by individuals outside of Capital, our legal department is engaged with law enforcement professionals and third-party job platforms, such as Indeed and ZipRecruiter to help bring it to an end. If you are a victim of this scam, we encourage you to stop correspondence and report the situation to the website the job was originally posted on (i.e. Indeed, ZipRecruiter, etc.) as well as your local law enforcement agency. To all potential candidates, please be vigilant when applying for roles from Capital Group on third-party sites. General guidance: • Capital Group will never ask for banking or personal account information as part of the interview process • Capital Group does not conduct interviews or assessments via text (SMS) messaging or leverage Google Hangouts as a platform to conduct interviews. • Currently, Capital Group does not offer any primary work-from-home or virtual/online positions • You can verify all legitimate and open positions on our career site: jobs.thecapitalgroup.com

Pros

Benefits and compensation were great. Most people were really nice.

Cons

Can become a gossip mill if you allow it. Constant rumors of HR cases, people forced to resign, inappropriate comments, etc. Some of the team leads and leadership actively participating in that gossip- really disappointing to see.
