Pros

They take care of their employees. Management makes an effort to have a personal relationship with employees rather than handing down dictates from their throne. They are flexible for a big corporation, and will support hard-working employees with time and understanding as needed. It seems like they actually care, offering money towards continuing education, and constantly helping local charities.

Cons

It's a corporation. So don't be surprised to find four "VPs" in one office. Banking is like the restaurant business; you have to be prepared to smile for customers even if your girlfriend just left you during your lunch break.

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
