      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.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great facility. Great Talent. Excellent teamwork. Awesome opportunity for increasing industry experience.

      Cons

      As a contractor, beware of the potential for abrupt pay cuts under the auspice of AT WILL work laws, BAD ECONOMY budget cuts and employment pools. Senior Managers and work group leads in certain (but not all) groups are extremely belligerent in their disrespect towards contractors. In certain circumstances, mid-level managers provide disingenuous feedback to augment their performance as it relates to problem resolution and personal/group production. The VITALITY CURVE approach to performance management turns this potentially outstanding company into an extremely stressful work environment outfitted with the fear of job losses and reprimands.

      A bunch of talented people don't make a great company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart people. Good work life balance. Flexibility in terms of working

      Cons

      The company has the worst people managers. Progression purely based on analytical skills. Very Very Political, what differentiates performers from non performers is not performance ... but the ability to suck up... very unfair promotion / and hirring policies... Not open to feedback... feedback is looked down upon. The only skill the company has is analytical skills... no creativity... no innovation...
