Pros

compensation is fair with a good employee stock purchase plan (partial match on the first 15% you contribute from your base salary), health benefits, and retirement matching (company automatically contributes 3% of your salary to your 401k, then matches you 100% for the 3% that you contribute) good internal mobility options and people are friendly and enthusiastic about helping each other

Cons

The bi annual calibrations process that compares you to your peers is very subjective and murky. There's not a lot of transparency in the process so you can do everything right but still score below strong leading to complications for career advancement and internal mobility The Tyson's office cannot safely handle the volume of commuters. May take up to 15 minutes to find a parking spot after arriving on the campus. Parking spots can also be extremely tight leading to vehicle damages. The culture you experience will depend on the team that you are on

Pros

Capital One is a tech-first company. Most of the latest tech skills, tools, and practices are implemented. Most teams have interesting work where you learn and get to apply your skills.

Cons

Often, the new development work is assigned to the full-time employees. Access to many of the tools is also restricted to the FT employees

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.
