Pros

Good WLB. But team dependent. PTOs are not tracked. But team dependent.

Cons

Stack ranking Strong unfair PIP culture. The offer PIPs for 5-8% tech employees every 6 months. Too many organizational changes Not the most inspiring work and a lot of compliance/overhead

Pros

Super easy to get into because turnover is so high, pay is not bad, but not top tier either.

Cons

The performance management system they have is absolutely Ludacris. Basically they fire 15 to 25% of all software engineers every year. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but it creates a work environment with constant backstabbing lying ect... There's other companies that have a similar model, but they pay significantly more than capital one. for example at amazon a senior SWE makes an average of $397,682 according to levels.fyi. At Capital one a senior SWE makes $206,079. That's not at all in the same ballpark.

Pros

Work-life balance I guess, nothing out of the ordinary. Honestly many more cons than pros

Cons

No follow up with teammates after training at all, they throw you to the wolves directly and management does a terrible job at even asking how you are doing with your job. Managers don’t check up on workers, again they are very absent and if thats something you look for than they would be a good fit but otherwise I don't recommend. Pay wise is really meh! If you are expecting a “competitive salary” like they advertise this is not the company to do it with. Culture is very weak, the whole inclusion and team collaboration does not exist.
