Capital One reviews

They preach DIB, yet when I was facing issues as a nonbinary person such as being misgendered by coworkers, the solutions offered were inadequate. They essentially offered for people who weren't nonbinary to explain my pronouns for me. No thank you. Not to mention I fought for years for gender free bathrooms only to get 1 in a campus of 12+ buildings that are constantly being remodeled. Far from adequate. When I became depressed and was having a difficult time because of it at work, their offerings were again inadequate. They offered time off, aka time to think which is something I didn't need, and online counseling resources even though I already am in regular therapy and psychiatry appointments. In short, their "help" offered was insulting. Finally, I was promised on several occasions that I would not go back into the office only to be told later that I had to go in and was unlikely to get an exception even though the mere thought of going in was causing me panic attacks. Live outside of a 50 mile radius from the office? Fine. Severe mental illness considered disabilities causing you to dread going in to the office? Too bad. It was incredibly hurtful after almost 8 years of working for them to be told to essentially get over my PTSD/anxiety/depression and suck it up or be fired for failing to come in to the office.

There's an inherent culture of intently studying org charts, dropping names and vying for visibility and customer feedback at every turn to build your case for a promotion. Kissing up your business customer will take you a long way, as will attending happy hours and parties, incessantly promoting your work and being popular in your department. Diversity is a joke. For the most part, data scientists are asians, tech are indians and BAs are white.. and stick to their own groups (friend circles, lunches, .. you get the idea) You'll invariably see asian employees talking to their bosses in mandarin or their local language and feel left out if you don't speak the language and belong to the same team. The company is toxic ; people either stick to their principles (& stay where they are for years), adapt or resign. The ones who adapt become aggressive Type A personalities who stop being team players, feed others' bad information and do everything in their power to use every minute in their own self-benefit. If you want to get ahead in this company, diss others' work, never admit when you're wrong, be supremely confident and take credit for others' work when needed. It can be attributed to miscommunication if identified later. If you're looking for a collaborative team environment and have chosen Capital One, it's hilarious :) Team work is eventually non existent so you'd much rather be put in a team with newbies who don't know any better. Don't believe for one minute that politics doesn't exist or 'Capital One has much less politics than other companies'. BS. Ever wonder why most the people at the director+ level *just happen* to be jerks?
