Pros

Their pay has historically been very good relative to similar jobs at other emploers in the area.

Cons

They have the worst case of "not invented here" syndrom I have ever seen. They are not interested in learning from the experience of anyone regarding anything outside fo the Capital One way. They also have a youth culture, where older employees are very unlikely to be given any opportunity for advancement.

Pros

- Never boring - room for ideas - a chance to make ideas happen - not so organized... - Great work life balance (flexibility in work hours, on site gym and showrss, can skip to take kids to a doctor without feeling guilty).

Cons

Overall its slowing down. Not the same opptys we used to have. Its not really clear how becoming a bank with branches will change the soul of the company

Pros

the people, they really are a special group and put together they create something special, work becomes fun in both an intellectually stimulating way and also in a way where its ok to have a bit of banter with a few friends

Cons

if you dont fit the image they have of what you need to be they will keep you hanging, they are a bit closed minded as to what a successful person should be and have definately swung too far one way, it will all balance out though
