      Pros and cons

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good work life balance, a management that strives to be fair and works hard to "develop" their people. Office politics are few and far between. The company values diversity

      Cons

      The culture is very "results oriented", which in most cases transforms to pure luck, particularly if you are an analyst, senior analyst, manager or senior manager and can't chose your projects, resources or departments.

      Good place to work, but no job is secure

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Capital One has great people that are smart and fun to work with. There are good opportunities for young ,smart and talented employees that want to learn and have a meaningful impact on results. Compensation is great -- better at most levels than a comparable company. While most work hard, the environment is flexible - which makes it easy to have a good work life balance.

      Cons

      The company has a Very Unfair process for recognizing individuals for promotions and performance reviews. Managers jointly decide on all staff --- creating a highly political environment where strong managers get their staff good ratings and promotions and weak ones don't. It is always hard to understand why some get promoted and others loose their job. The announcements are always a suprise. Also, executive management views employees at all levels as completely disposable. No job is secure, regardless of performance. Politics rules the day.

      If you are not from top school, they'll give you a hard time

      Pros

      Good benefits and work environment; flexible schedule; no need to use "paid time off" when you need to go doctor's appointment; many chances to take company paid dining out and free food; company paid "FUN DAY";

      Cons

      work overtime without overtime pay; management and leadership is very unreasonable demanding; young people are oftentimes snobby, since most of them are B or worse students from top schools; very tough interview screenings; People pretend to know everything and like blah blah blah......
