Pros

At least I'm not working longer hours than I want to.

Cons

Senior leaders change priorities every so often. Incredibly bad internal tech stack. Labyrinthine approvals from senior leaders required to get anything done and move onto the next step. Promotions are based on releasing a high-visibility project/product, but as soon as that's done, it doesn't get maintained. No matter how technical your role is, you'll be making an incredible number of PowerPoint slides. Extremely two-faced culture of toxic positivity.

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.
