Pros
* health insurance * fertility benefits * salary is above-average compared to most industries * The work can be interesting when considering the technical scale and exposure
Cons
* performance management at Cap 1 sucks. management never prepared in advance, overpromises and you're stuck footing their bill. your career in this company really depends on how well your manager represents you. * YMMV it's very much dependent on your team, others have said they enjoy their job * Compensation isn't commensurate for level of work put in. The incentive structure just doesn't work for inhouse knowledge to stay within the company. * The company has recently been hiring ex-Amazon employees at C-suite, whose employee all-hands meetings in the past has berated his predecessors, lowering morale. * Hybrid mandate was completely botched. * TREx - 2-4 times a year you will lose a week + 1 weekend night to artificial outings that enterprise will cause to verify your apps failover from one region to another. why this can't be done during business hours is beyond me but staying up on friday nights from 11-3 AM for a fake production incident isn't right. * Enterprise teams are off point. There was a solid 6 weeks of Jenkins team having slowdowns, awful documentation of OnePipeline that doesn't provide the support it needs to engineers, Cyber throwing tantrums to quarantine engineering resources blocking production deployments for 600 hundred engineering teams. Some of this has to do with performance incentivizing bringing new platform teams to life for "impact" so a lot of these were rushed but owning these platforms often doesn't produce internal support level needed.
