* OK benefit * OK WLB

Cons

* Lacks diversity in card technology * Stack ranking + no diversity - predetermined low performance for individuals outside that group * Only individuals from a specific country are being promoted, disregarding others' potential and achievements * The current organizational structure hinders promotion opportunities unless someone has connections with the right people or is on a high-profile project. * Frequent reorganization * The internal tools are malfunctioning or inefficient, hampering productivity and effectiveness

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

Cons

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.
