Pros

Great company culture! If you have good managers, you are in good hands. I would try and get in with Card, Commercial, or Retail LOBs. The work life balance is amazing and the work is interesting. Capital One is also a company that emphasizes collaboration so if you love working with smart caring people, this is a good place to learn and grow.

Cons

Depending on your team, you can get boring work or just have poor management. I've been on 3 teams; two great and one bad but its apart of the learning and growing process. Everything will not always go your way but you do have the opportunity to get out of a bad situation easily.

Pros

- Very cushy job, generally good WLB - Can meet some really talented engineers + mentors - Learn basic fundamentals of software engineering outside of just coding (e.g. DevOps, Cloud Architecture, inter-team cooperations, CICD) - Decent name to have on resume, lots of recruiter outreach after your first couple of years

Cons

- Pay is not competitive and they appear to have no intentions of changing this - Stack ranking, more about your visibility to other managers than your technical contributions unless they're high profile projects - Depending on team, often have to work with extremely unskilled contractors and their non-maintainable code, general lack of engineering craftsmanship / skill - Lots of corporate red tape + useless initiatives - Engineering problems are trivial / braindead after you exit the "green" stage of your career - You Build You Own philosophy just a way to lower hiring costs - make engineers do all the testing, QA, SRE, etc. - Horrible documentation of enterprise frameworks you are expected to use
