Capital One reviews

Constant pressure to be managed out. Every performance cycle is 6 months and depending on the org there is a requirement to pip the bottom x%

Aggressive and worthless stack ranking process. As a former people leader, I am personally ashamed to have knowingly participated in the 6-7 days per year we dedicated to this debate. This is not a quantitative comparison, but rather a political exercise in which managers could prop up their employees the best. For the record, I never personally fell "below the bar" and this is not a bitter response to that. Senior leaders also work within a cult of personality. In Auto Finance, the department head requires all employees to travel to a stadium once a year to watch him speak for 4 hours (no guests, just the ego maniac speaking). Similarly, the CEO requires the company to spend 4 full days each year listening to him give a personal presentation (again, no guests, just rambling).
