Pros

Benefits Vacation purchase plan On site health center Work from home

Cons

Not the company it used to be. Senior Management in certain departments needs to be overhauled. Some departments let you work from home while others frown upon it. You can be told that you can work from home due to lack of space but when you do you are then reprimanded for not being seen (basically out of sight out of mind). They are famous for getting rid of folks 45 and over so word of advice to those in that age group is to start looking for another job before they decide to let you go. Forced distribution in performance management is a joke. If your manager doesn't like you or fight for you then you will be the one at the bottom. Lots of fake people so be careful who you befriend and who you think you can trust.

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.
