Pros

Pay is good Health Benefits are amazing 401K is top tier Work on issues that touch people’s lives and it is a point of pride to say you worked on something that people see. I used to think it was awesome to say I worked somewhere with major brand recognition

Cons

Stack Ranking has morphed into this multi level hydra. It used to be clear cut that some employees weren’t up to par, but post covid it has slowly become a noose that is used to squeeze employees. First it was increased expectations(go from running 1 team to 2). Then it was being able to compete with employees who have been there for years. It doesn’t matter if you are new to cap one or the role, you were expected to hit the ground running or get left behind. Capital One used to be a place to learn and grow but now it is a cost effective Amazon. It got to the point where I was working while at a family funeral to stay on top of my job and I dreaded every email notification or buzz I got on my phone. I look back at my time wistfully, I would’ve loved to be a C1 lifer, but I no longer recognize the company I grew to admire.

Pros

- Great benefits - Supportive of further studies - Great Business Resource Group for diversity social groups - Great pay Work is unique since I work with Execs and their admins for all tech-related issues.

Cons

The only con I really can think of is stack-ranking calibration for all associates.
