Pros

Great benefits, forward thinking, great people!

Cons

Can get hectic at times. Disconnect between Data Analysts and Business Analysts, but this is likely not just an issue at Capital One. Slowed down by big company sludge. It's often hard to get something done, and it won't be quickly. Made worse since we are in the banking industry.

Pros

- Great 401(k) match. One of the best I've seen outside of oil and gas companies. Stock purchase plan is also very attractive. Onsite gym is pretty great. Onsite medical clinic in Richmond is also amazing. Really cheap lunch and breakfast options. Overall very good benefits. - Smart employees and lots of opportunities. - So many courses that you can take through Capital One university. Honestly the best training programs I've ever heard of and they're all free. Taking a half day to take a course is totally cool. - Strong moat, good company overall. We didn't lose our hat in the financial crisis by any means so we'll be around for the future. - Awesome analyst development program. Capital One wants to bring in and train people for the future. - Great work/life balance. Flexible work arrangements. Work from home if you want or need to, but people tend to lean towards coming in every day

Cons

- Finance company parading around as a "tech" company. Big push to hire tons of software engineers and go "digital," but I have my doubts that this will ever affect the bottom line. - I have a great team, but it's such a large company that everyone's experience is different. For a company that claims to be a "tech" company at heart, we're really slow to adapt new technologies. It took awhile just to get one Tableau license. - Rich Fairbank might be ADD. He demo'd Tableau one day (This was before my time so it's a second-hand story) and it was all the rage, now I hear they're pushing SAP Lumira as the BI tool of choice. - Base pay is definitely below market for Data Analysts and Data Scientists despite a lot of these people having very valuable skills. (some combination of Python, SAS, Shell, SQL, HBase/Hadoop and R) Richmond, VA or Plano, TX pay is alright when adjusted for Cost of Living, though.
