Capital One reviews

The senior management team is great at manipulation and self-promotion; skills that allow them to recruit some good talent which, sometimes, accidentally, can form good teams. Don't expect those teams to last, you will soon find out that all work of substance is done by the US team. Canada is playing catch up, you will find yourself begging US teams to push a button for you, write tons of configuration and maybe a line of code or two. If a promotion comes don't expect money. Pay is under market but they pretend it's not. Be careful who you trust! It's all cliques, in-groups and the agile coaches are there to report your thoughts to managers.

1. Constant Re-Orgs 2. Lack of clear direction from leadership 3. People with technical skills are not rewarded, people with social skills skyrocket in their career 4. Lack of good technical intents, be prepared to sit idle most of the time until leadership tries to get intent (am a java dev, but last year i did manual testing for most part and 0 API or microservice work) 5. Layoffs here and there, and no clear career path direction (all API teams were converted to mobile teams in chicago downtown, by teaching android and IOS development - you have 6 years of technical experience in one area, so what?? start from 0 now) 6. Poor performance management - criteria for this changes every year - if you can speak well and show off others work as yours - this is the best place to be.
