Pros

Benefits are okay. Take advantage of tuition reimbursement there. Most of the intelligent people there do. Other standard benefits.

Cons

It was all roses to start, but I quickly learned plenty of obstacles had to be hurdled daily to get my job done. Had to seek out information, seek out the right people with said information, get approvals within and outside my department, even outside the state, for small things. Those in mid and upper management seem to be clueless and out of touch. As long as the company is making progress, damn the stock prices. My stock there was originally $80/share, but fell to $40 over five years. They often seek barely warm bodies with a few active brain cells for management positions and these people are ill equipped. Many of the managers could use communication skills and human communication 101 lessons.

Pros

Nice people and truly great work life balance (can be team dependent). Most people are in office 2-3 times a week. Food options are decent (6.8/10) but not as subsidized as I would prefer although they are less pricey than eating out at a Cava/Chipotle.

Cons

Not many, don't have anything to say.

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.
