Pros

The compensation package is attractive. Bonus structure is enviable with spot bonuses for hard work on big projects.

Cons

A cut-throat, down right nasty environment where every one is an "expert" no matter how green. The business silos do not work well together - the animosity and competition is ruthless. Middle management drives toward unrealistic goals set by out of touch senior management. (Date driven projects cutting scope to meet schedule resulting in a poorly executed, half-baked product.) The customer is an account and not the reason for doing business.

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.
