Capital One reviews

Oh God where to start. First the in-office situation is untenable. In addition to lack of meeting spaces, terrible parking availability, and an open office that does not allow for productive work, it is really unfortunate how employees are forced into a ranked performance system where great employees are given below average ratings solely to satisfy the ranking metrics. Heaven help you if you have a manager that isn't particularly good at their job, they will throw you under the bus time and time again to cover their behinds. RTO has been an utter disaster, forcing people to come back to the office only to spend their days on Zoom which is just as easily accomplished at home. Leadership never ever ever ever admits they're wrong or they've made a mistake, no matter how glaringly obvious it is. This is not the Capital One from 10 years ago which was a vibrant, engaging, great place to work.

There is no genuine tech leadership from the highest levels. - Whole c1 took siloed approach to build redundant systems by copying softwares from one LOB to another. - After so many years adopting AWS, the cloud CICD pipelines have poor quality. A build or deployment that worked last week might break due to constantly changing CI/CD processes. you'll be lucky if you can relase a simple bug fix to prod in a few days through cicd. - Poor-quality software has been, and continues to be, developed across all teams. Under pressure, developers have resorted to chating code coverage tests—running them against dummy code while skipping real functional code. - The longer you work at c1, the less marketable your tech skills become. Most of your time will be spent deciphering proprietary processes and rules created by others rather than building relevant technical expertise. - from all levels of sr tech resources, including sr tech lead, distinguished engineers at c1, their abilities to have deep understanding to relevant techs, then create suitable solutions are limited. E.g,, to enable zero-trust, everyone of the thousands of app/microservice needs to stash its credentials in vault and rotate them frequently. What kind of incompetent designed this?!
