      Capital One has provided a great environment for me to develop professionally and to sharpen my technical skills.

      Pros

      Associates are encouraged to "Live the values" by volunteering in the community, helping others internally, and giving back to open source projects. Capital One fosters technical development with ample growth opportunities and encouragement to take ownership of your own development. The pay is very competitive. The benefits are comprehensive including very generous 401k automatic contribution and matching.

      Cons

      It's challenging to "Live the values" by helping others and being selfless while also endorsing yourself to be competitive in cross-calibration for performance management.

      Competitive work culture and controlling cliques bad for software developers

      Pros

      Competitive salary, decent benefits

      Cons

      The company rewards competition amongst peers which create a hostile and vicious work culture. In fields where collaboration is crucial for success, such as in software development, the competitive process inhibits creativity, risk-taking, and fails to build support and trust amongst teammates. Cliques of managers work together to give less than average ratings to those outside their circles. The bar is set high to get in the door then they grade on a curve once you get in. If everyone was very good to begin with then who is graded low on the curve? Those outside the cliques or those who failed to make side deals with key people.

      Good place to work

      Pros

      Good work-life balance - I work 9:30-5:00. Good healthcare benefits and compensation. I also find the work interesting. I get opportunities to work on cool high tech things like Hadoop.

      Cons

      I dislike that people are rated on a bell curve and some people must always get a bad rating, even if they are doing fine.
