Pros

The negatives out-weigh the positives in every way. They waste time while talking about "not wasting time". They applaud time at the company with complete disregard for ability to manage and Capital One dips itself consistently into technology that they have no idea what to do with. They do have a great work from home policy on occasion depending on who your manager is but they re-org so often that it's hard to have consistency.

Cons

Pay is not good, normally they try to sell you on a yearly bonus that is a range that they make impossible to attain the top dollar of.Capital One is a true example of management styles that are stuck in the past. They have weak people in management positions taught by the bureaucratic environment that sticking up for their employees is not worth it. They have lost numerous people (who are great employees) simply due to policy and weak management not willing to stand up to precedence for team members. Capital One presents itself as a technology savvy bank. However I can only attribute this presentation to the marketing department because within the technology departments I worked in the people in charge had no understanding of their products or the technology necessary to produce quality. They would fully staff teams before they even procured new software that these teams were planned to work on. The amount of waste is really overwhelming. I would advise going to another company if you want to be challenged. If you prefer to coast then this place is perfect.

Pros

Decent benefits Ability to attain and train for greater skills and certifications

Cons

Fromer HSBC employees still carry on the HSBC mentality (bottom lines, chasing deadlines, completion at all cost, only lip service to the company values, nepotism, self-preservation)
