Pros

one upside of them trying to move fast is you will get to work on latest technologies but all of this comes at huge cost to you personally. It's a good place for fresh college grads but everyone else not the place to be.

Cons

Frequent reorgs and top level management changes all through the year. I have had 4 reorgs in less than 3 years of being there. Whenever someone at the top leaves, management takes it as an opportunity to reorg the deck across the division. One of the most regressive performance management process I have seen which they take great pride in, it's done 4 times a year with no time for associates to focus on learning and development - it's deliver or out all the time but when you couple that with the frequent reorgs it's hard to settle in a role and deliver. Very short term focused managers. Managers are not interested in your development, they just need results to go after their promotion. They run quarterly survey on employees but managers are busy trying to figure out who gave bad ratings than focusing on how to improve morale. There is a lot of corporate marketing speak which is says and means two different things. Be prepared to just preparing atleast 100 slides a week, that's all there is to their work.

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.
