Pros

Capital One is one of the best places to start a career, because they place a lot of value on development and training. Campus recruiting starts new hires in an Analyst Development Program that trains job specific skills and provides an avenue to network with peers for the first year at the company.

Cons

While the job as a package is very attractive to college graduates just starting out, it is sometimes difficult for Capital One to deliver on its description of job role at the company. Business analysts are supposed to drive in market strategy, but are sometimes used as a "jack-of-all-trades" to do less intelectually stimulating jobs.

Pros

There's a great flexible work hours and many young people. You be given a lot of responsibilities right off the bat and will have many opportunities to lead projects.

Cons

There's a "mold" you need to fit in with the culture. It can be difficult to be a part of the in crowd if you don't fit their definition of success.
