Pros

A lot of oppotunities and a young feeling company. I got to work in France, USA and Madrid in my role. Some peopel there are very good and there is a collective energy in the office which makes working there a pleasure. There is a lot of fun in the office with a fun budget where every quarter you get a day out paid for by the company (bowling / meal / day out doing something etc)

Cons

Obsessed by soft skills, sometimes forgetting about the core work itelsf. Also some management were promoted, put in management of people positions who were very poor people skills.

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

Pros

Capital one has a very complete and relax work environment. It is competetive and at the same time provides great opportunites to succeed. The learning curve is step and you get to do a lot of value addition right from when you start work at Cap one.

Cons

The laid back environment can get to you at times and it feels like things ae moving real slow. Also if are looking for a faster carrer progression it is better to look into investment banking or something on the wall street. Also capital one locations are not great and hence it can be a pain at times.
