Great place to work. Calibrations need to be updated and refocused on the people, not the process. - Sr Manager Capital One Employee Review

Pros

Tech Stack is decent but evolving Culture is fantastic Activities, OnSite Gym, Cafes Teams are full of highly intelligent and motivated people Even with the shortcomings, still, a great place to work and be part of.

Cons

Using meetings to disseminate information that should just be in an email or intranet (one of them, there are 3) page is a waste of time. Calibrations and stack ranking consistently hurt new, non-TDP, members of tech teams with no way to compete. If you do not get along with your direct manager for any reason, real or imagined, just leave now. It will be easier for you since you can't do anything about it.

Pros

Well-run company that knows its values and lives them out. They hire well, and trust people to do their jobs, and people almost always do. Very tech-forward, and adopts the current tech meta quite well.

Cons

Performance management is a double edged sword. It feels intense, but I get why they do it. And helps me reflect on where Im at. Small price to pay

Pros

Cafeteria, coffee machines, and free food

Cons

no career In my experience, the work was not very meaningful and often felt buried under unnecessary red tape. A lot of things sounded exciting from the outside, but in practice many projects felt surface-level and did not seem to become real production work. Feedback and expectations could also feel vague and shifting, with words like “visibility” and “influence” used without clear guidance. I also felt that career growth and opportunity were not handled evenly, and once concerns were raised, the situation became more stressful rather than more constructive. Hiring and promotion patterns did not always feel transparent, which made the environment feel less fair over time. Overall, I left feeling disappointed by how much the company talks about values compared with how unsupported an employee can feel in practice.
