Pros

very talented smart and dedicated co-workers. From a number crunching culture, second to none

Cons

Negotiate harder than you think you need to because you will stay at the same level for some time. Reliance on analytics can stifle new ideas.

Pros

If you are crook, there is a lot of money here. Opportunity to rob off the financially distressed and unsophisticated. Discrimination against certain groups is open and rife.

Cons

Senior Management is overpaid. Capital One engages in all kinds of questionable practices ranging from earnings management, employee exploitation, Absolutely not a meritocracy. While it has en exceptionally good analytical infrastructure, that is not really how it makes it money. It just happened to find a niche business in Subprime Credit Cards. Hardly better than pay day lenders.
