Pros

Some truly great co-workers and employees are top notch. But thats about it.

Cons

Where to start. Nobody in leadership provides any vision which leaves you in the wind in crafting your vision. In one breath leadership will say “this,” but in another they say “that.” The company had 2 unexpected layoffs last year and the company has struggled since. Morale is low - hampered by the RIFs last year, loss of CEO this year, and nobody at the front line has had a merit or a cost of living increase. My biggest gripe is that so many of the companies leaders come from Capital One and as such, their thinking exists in a vacuum. It’s like they want to emulate Capital One and become Capital Two, but lack the funds, the vision, or the desire to take true risks that will propel the company forward. Finally - there’s no desire to develop other products. The Fintech game is different now than it was 567 years ago, there are ton of companies and they’re all offering credit cards. There’s no development of new groundbreaking products.

Pros

- My manager seemed to be very supportive and eager to set me up for success. - Interesting technology stack and space to improve things. - I was genuinely happy with the work I was doing at the time. - Good designers and developers on the product team. - Team members who were part of the layoff were extremely supportive, beyond any expectation I could have for that situation I found myself in. I will be forever grateful to that community.

Cons

- The CEO explicitly assured the company at an offsite that finances were great and layoffs wouldn't happen. Two weeks later, I was laid off. - The layoff occurred just four weeks before my scheduled paternity leave, causing immense, unnecessary anxiety. - Once you are out, you are erased. Management and former peers completely iced me out and never reached out again, exposing a deeply cold, phony and transactional culture.
