Pros

Flexibility in scheduling. Promotes work/life balance. Compensation package was better than other people in the same position at other companies.

Cons

Overly competitive; incompetent management. No job security. Layoffs are possible at any time. Employees must move around in order to feel safe.

Pros

Capital One appears strong and will likely make it through the financial crises. The business plan is sound and leadership seems to be at least one step ahead of changes in the economy.

Cons

Corporate culture is based on making sure you get credit for work done and aren't associated with failure. Thus, it is difficult to find anyone willing to make important decisions. This was my experience and it may be different in other divisions of the company.
