Pros

Good benefits and great campus

Cons

Capital group is swamped with contractors and controlled by consulting companies and part time workers (business, project management and developers) It can get pretty competitive up there and you will see group of people of the same consulting company meeting about the project you’re working on but you won’t be able to attend or know what they’re planning I used to have a lot of contractors in my team from Accenture and they were very competitive and did not welcome us in the group and it was very difficult to get anything done because they controlled most of the operation and the business process… It can get very competitive a little bit toxic and it was not a very warm place to work I honestly hate it up there, and never felt like we were welcomed.. imagine having to play politics and having to pull and take over or push and pull on daily basis.. it was a draining me quick

Pros

•Great retirement plan: Capital invests 15% of whatever your salary is, but of their own money into your own savings account. •Decent salary and bonuses. •Admittedly, Capital has a great Cafeteria with delicious food at an affordable price. •Capital has a beautiful, spacious, and green outdoor campus that surrounds all the buildings. •Great transportation reimbursement: Capital has rideshare options available as well as pays for the entire cost of a train pass for those that commute by train. •Great coworkers for the most part! •Engaging activities such as their annual hackathon!

Cons

•Miscommunication between the managers, project managers, and the employee. •Too many repetitive meetings. •Not enough opportunity to let employees work on other projects within their sector. •No set schedule for the week. Capital expects a good amount of employees to commute to both their LA office and the Irvine office during the week. •Lack of budget to hire the appropriate amount of employees for certain projects, causing major delays. •Very strict on internet rules. Employees have to take a profile picture from their mobile phone and email that picture from their personal email to their work email, and open that picture on their work laptop, and finally download the picture onto their work laptop and upload it as a profile picture. •Difficult for a majority of employees to move up a level even if they’ve worked at Capital for years.
