Pros

* Great values, sensible and largely competent top management * Strong support for employees' work-life balance and flexible work options (eg: working from home) * Support for lateral movement for employees * Largely less political compared to competition, and quick to adapt business strategy and adjust priorities in response to broader market environment

Cons

* Still integrating the multiple Bank acquisitions, overall culture is not consistent, very hierarchical in many groups (different from the Capital One of a few years ago) * Lack of savvy around investment in technology infrastructure, aging systems and massive inefficiencies that are finally slowly being addressed. Not too dissimilar to other banks but for a company that grew up on innovation and analysis-driven strategy, its taken a while to realize that ongoing technology investment is needed to support the quality data and analytical tools the company needs

Pros

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Employee engagement always high priority.

Cons

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Highly focused on sales vs service.

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.
