Pros

They tend to pride themselves as having a high bar to get in but some of the Senior Management (Director +) are a joke and how they got to that level is a suprise to most people. Nice Gym Like the idea of being able to have a high concentration within one campus Close to lots of restaurants

Cons

There is so much politics it is ridiculous in order to move up. Promotions are not based on results but rather being best buddy with manager and there is so much instability with management if you happen to get momentum you will have a new manager that will not have any history on you. Compensation is far below the market in the same industry for similar job. A lot of focus on levels as a way to get things pushed. Claim to be about front line people engagement, however only a few areas actually live this and rest is lip service. Exodus of people close to happening like did before when people left to competition. Playing favorites is common here: a few select few (not actually any better) will get promoted every year to 2 years, the rest will never move up and those moving up will give foolish reasons why others shouldn't.

Pros

Extremely intelligent, driven people Ability to move around from job to job - which can be unrelated to previous experience (moves are based on skill level, but there's a downside because people can take highly specialized positions without prior experience) In some areas of the company - great flexibility with work schedule, hours, location - 'future of work' modality

Cons

Salaries and benefits decreased over time to accommodate becoming a bank vs. credit card company, Performance management process is cumbersome Success depends on manager who will fight for you Inconsistencies in 'flexible work' environment - vary from department to department and individual to individual Some legacy employees who joined Capital One when very young are still young and in very (too) senior positions

Pros

They take care of their employees. Management makes an effort to have a personal relationship with employees rather than handing down dictates from their throne. They are flexible for a big corporation, and will support hard-working employees with time and understanding as needed. It seems like they actually care, offering money towards continuing education, and constantly helping local charities.

Cons

It's a corporation. So don't be surprised to find four "VPs" in one office. Banking is like the restaurant business; you have to be prepared to smile for customers even if your girlfriend just left you during your lunch break.
