Pros

Super easy to get into because turnover is so high, pay is not bad, but not top tier either.

Cons

The performance management system they have is absolutely Ludacris. Basically they fire 15 to 25% of all software engineers every year. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but it creates a work environment with constant backstabbing lying ect... There's other companies that have a similar model, but they pay significantly more than capital one. for example at amazon a senior SWE makes an average of $397,682 according to levels.fyi. At Capital one a senior SWE makes $206,079. That's not at all in the same ballpark.
