Pros

Great people to work with. Nottingham office facilities can’t be faulted. Good progression if you put the hours in.

Cons

Forced performance management bell curve is ruthless. I’ve seen many people put on plans who don’t need one as a tick-box exercise. The culture has changed and isn’t what it used to be. Most of the time it feels like everyone is running around like a headless chicken. The volume of work expected is unrealistic and leads to burn-out and disengagement. The only way to complete the work expected is to commit a huge amount of extra unpaid hours - don’t worry though because you’ll be rewarded with a doughnut …

Pros

Capital One is a tech-first company. Most of the latest tech skills, tools, and practices are implemented. Most teams have interesting work where you learn and get to apply your skills.

Cons

Often, the new development work is assigned to the full-time employees. Access to many of the tools is also restricted to the FT employees

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
