Pros

Salary is good as are the benefits. Travel opportunities especially abroad.

Cons

Awful culture. Stacked rankings pits associates against one another. Lots of back stabbing and lots of throwing others under the bus. Leadership is awful. Most move up from being an agent with no business education or skills. You have to be in someone’s pocket to rank strong or higher. They have a tendency to weed out people of a certain age yet they claim they are so diverse. Another laugh is that they’re a technology company. You have to wait forever for websites to load. Everything crashes on a regular basis. If you’re thinking of applying here, seriously think again.

Pros

Well-run company that knows its values and lives them out. They hire well, and trust people to do their jobs, and people almost always do. Very tech-forward, and adopts the current tech meta quite well.

Cons

Performance management is a double edged sword. It feels intense, but I get why they do it. And helps me reflect on where Im at. Small price to pay

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
