Pros

The people here are not only smart but are great to work with. I've only had positive experiences working with other people/asking for help. The work-life balance is pretty laid back and doesn't require you to put in an extreme amount of hours very oten.

Cons

Because it's not a tech company along the lines of Google, Facebook, etc. you don't really see the bleeding edge of technology always being built/used. It happens, but if you want a constant stream of new projects and problems this might not be the place to do that.

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.
