Pros

Continuous performance and career management - performance reviews on a 6-month cadence and career trajectory discussions in-between. Engineers can choose between People Leader and Individual Contributor tracks so they don't have to become a people leader to progress. Regular raises that accompany performance reviews above. Generous 401k matching - 3% automatic company contribution, 100% match for first 3% of your contribution, 50% match for next 3%. In total, 6% to get 7.5%. Health insurance options from Anthem with decent company premium contribution and $500/yr HSA/FSA employer contribution (+$500 for spouse on plan). Paid AWS certification (required for tech associates) and other training. Engineers have monthly "Invest in Yourself" days dedicated to training, not work. Stock purchase plan - Put up to 15% of each paycheck towards buying Capital One stock at a 15% discount. Immediately vests so you can either hold onto it for dividends or sell immediately to essentially boost your pay by 2.25%. Culture is great from top-down. CEO Rich Fairbank has a yearly all-associate "state of the union" that is very genuine, sincere, and informative. Regular fun team-building exercises, including cocktail- and dessert-making. Generous recognition "spot rewards" system that can be redeemed for some pretty cool, relevant, and useful rewards. Swag. So much swag.

Cons

New hybrid model, if you are <50 miles from an office you may be expected to come in at least sometimes. It's really a team-by-team basis, I'm full remote and would actually enjoy occasionally coming into an office again, but I know some people would consider this a con. Regular training around lots of compliance aspects of working in a fintech. Not the end of the world but it's definitely more than at other non-financial institutions.
