Pros

Management is taking some steps in the right direction to become more technology forward. Capital One also has the funds to move in that direction, and has an overall good company vision. Overall work environment was also inviting, and balanced.

Cons

Unfortunately, implementation of the technology bank vision is poor. The company is wasting money hiring way too many engineers at a low bar. These engineers are then managed by non-technical managers for projects that are then randomly killed with poor leadership synchronization.

Pros

Work life balance was good. Gym was really wonderful and healthy food options were available. There were some interesting, intelligent people working in the company.

Cons

Capitalone does not care for career growth. Does not matter how much money I made for Capitalone, I did not get promoted. Sometime I felt racial bias. You would see highly qualified people with MBA, consulting experience doing poorly in the year end calibration process whereas no nothing white undergrad is treated as the master of the universe. Then your manager gets changed every 3-6 months. Capitalone is good as a starting place but one should not stay there more than two years. I made the mistake of staying there close to 4 years and I could not get back those years..
