Food, Campus, free parking, training tools

Cons

If you are in the Technology division but you are not working in coveted Mclean, you are over the age of 30, and you are not white or Indian and not part of the leadership cliques? You may find it a bit challenging here.

Pros

- Great engineering team. Engineering leadership is solid, has a good attitude, and SDE talent that punches above their weight - Capital One has good senior executive leadership and as a whole they genuinely try to be a good actor in society - Work life balance is great because most people lost hope on delivering meaningful work. Many people leave as early as 3pm or work from home with little or no notice

Cons

- The Seattle team is not like the rest of the company. A lot of what you read on glassdoor does not apply to this team even some benefits - Seattle job responsibilities for roles are different which makes working with the enterprise inefficient - Seattle team is organized in a by silos that prevent work from getting done effectively - Project/program management team does not follow industry best practices - Large and toxic design team that impedes engineering work and delivery - Management caught up with trivial office politics that includes personal rumors - A large amount of middle managers (Directors) that spend a lot of time squabbling between each other to fulfill their personal interests over that of the associate, company, and customer -Project / program managers are uncommon in rest of the company. This causes low growth opportunities and a abstract concept of calibration for the job family
