Capital One reviews

It's challenging to "Live the values" by helping others and being selfless while also endorsing yourself to be competitive in cross-calibration for performance management.

- The bureaucracy is far crazier than anything I've seen in any other company. It can be very difficult to get through the red tape and get things done. Half of the people who work here are there to prevent the other half from doing their jobs. - They hire smart people, but most of them don't have any other experience. So they only know the Capital One way of doing things. They're convinced this is always the best way. - High Potential Program. There is an official "high potential" program they arbitrarily choose people and treat them differently. This creates a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, but more importantly breeds resentment. - There is a weak approach to expense management. As a result. Most of the office is traveling at any given time even though they don't need to be. People will habitually fly from Toronto to Richmond Virginia for a single short meeting. People go on trips simply because they are young and like to travel. - Some members of senior management are religious fundamentalists and it shows.
