Pros

Nothing, absolutely nothing. Some customers are nice I guess, but that does not compare with management that will lie to your face.

Cons

I will start off by saying this review is for the retail bank division. Capital One is the worst company I have ever worked for. They are eliminating positions left and right and giving more responsibility to lower level employees for no extra pay. The company currently fired all of their bankers and lead tellers (because why pay them to do 1 job at 40K when they can hire someone as a UBA for 29K and have them be a teller, banker and manager). You can work here for 30+ years, it makes no difference they will throw you out the door without any empathy. I was just fired because 'my position was eliminated' and am sick to my stomach. They like to do mass firings on group conference calls as well; they will have you on a group of dozens of other people and fire you all at once and ask 'any questions'. You can be a top banker, bring in over 2 million in new money, and it makes no difference, they will fire you if they want to. How much did they save with the tax cuts? Yet they still have the urge to do more mass firings.

Pros

You get a mac You get free coffee You learn to lie.

Cons

I wouldn't be surprised if this company kills itself in coming years. The system is filled with mediocre management who has no clue of technology. The remaining are the H1b's who were hired full time. They lie, manipulate and are shameless to the core and will do anything to survive. Since the company culture is to hire & fire, its normal to see folks vanishing without trace...Due to this fear no one trusts anyone. Imagine working in a team/teams who just wants to survive at any cost.

Pros

Benefits are good Work life balance is possible

Cons

Misogynistic/Bro-culture and favoritism - despite there being a group centered around Women in Technology, the actual team dynamics are very different Buzzwords are more important than good work Quality work is not valued as much as who can peacock the best Their recruiters will tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door instead of telling you what the job is really about Very disorganized A lot of bloated legacy systems manned by people who can't think outside their bubble Not friendly or beneficial to engineers that aren't fresh out of college
