Pros

Reasonable hours, appreciation for logical thinkers. Decisions are made in more rational ways than other companies. Quick advancement opportunities if you fit the fold.

Cons

Capital One's core business is giving poor sub prime people credit cards and then collecting the high interest and late fees. Is this what you want to be doing for a living? Also, company is obsessed with powerpoint. People spend more time on their presentations of their work than their work itself.

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.
