Pros

Good benefits including healthcare, fitness center, 401K, occasional remote work, and PTO

Cons

Performance management process is very unreasonable, leading to poor morale and poor business decisions. Every 6 months 8-15% of employees are put on coaching plans, which typically lead to PIPs and severance. By performing basic math, I’m convinced that the majority of employees at Capital One eventually end up in the 8-15% at some point. To meet forced distributions, managers are expected to force out employees who are doing good work, which I don’t believe makes good business sense. Employer turnover and competition are very high, which prevents effective collaboration.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
