Pros

Capital One gives an incredible level of exposure to people at the analyst and senior analyst role. It is an exciting company with lots of interesting projects happening across the various lines of business. There is generally a strong development culture, good pay, and a good work life balance. The McLean campus is adding a beautiful new building in summer 2018 which is a great perk.

Cons

Some roles can have a bit of a narrow scope and focus. Many BAs like that focus and singular analytical problem, but I generally preferred the more strategic/multifaceted projects. Capital One should work on improving diversity. Capital One has a strong preference towards college hires and I would not recommend this to someone coming in as a senior associate as an external hire. I do recommend it if you are applying for manager+ roles.

Salary, benefits, mobility for internal transfers

Cons

I have been a part of Capital One for more than 20 years, most of my career. It was an exciting growth culture in the early years. Our team culture was very strong. People looked out for each other and worked toward a collective good. Around 2019 a shift began in leadership. Politics became more important and forced distribution, stack ranking, and performance management targets became more prevalent. When the pandemic hit, it broke the strong in person culture of this company. Many left for the lure of FAANG and other companies offering remote work for promotion and higher pay. It was a chance to jump the line and come back later. In the meantime COF hired people who tired of the relentless pace of Amazon, Google, and other tech companies. We also hired in big bank culture of JPM Chase and Goldman. This has resulted in a toxic, political, cutthroat culture with constant reorgs. I’m planning to leave this organization in the next 12 months. It is sad what it has become. I know tenured leaders, great people who look out for others and have helped me succeed over the years, who are miserable here. DFS colleagues from the acquisition are leaving in droves.
