Pros

*All decisions are weighed against the company mission to do the right thing. Like the Golden Rule, it may create complications, it is also fundamentally clear, simple, direct and self-evident in problem-solving. *The guiding cultural principal of PWE, Positive Workplace Environment (which I like to call Pweh, in honor of Mel Brooks), actually works at Capital One - discouraging gossip, and bullying, and all the petty little squabbles that undermine team-building.

Cons

Compensation and benefits are stable and reliable -- but only slightly above average. In the pursuit of excellence, compensation should more accurately reflect the excellence we seek.

Cons

I have been a part of Capital One for more than 20 years, most of my career. It was an exciting growth culture in the early years. Our team culture was very strong. People looked out for each other and worked toward a collective good. Around 2019 a shift began in leadership. Politics became more important and forced distribution, stack ranking, and performance management targets became more prevalent. When the pandemic hit, it broke the strong in person culture of this company. Many left for the lure of FAANG and other companies offering remote work for promotion and higher pay. It was a chance to jump the line and come back later. In the meantime COF hired people who tired of the relentless pace of Amazon, Google, and other tech companies. We also hired in big bank culture of JPM Chase and Goldman. This has resulted in a toxic, political, cutthroat culture with constant reorgs. I’m planning to leave this organization in the next 12 months. It is sad what it has become. I know tenured leaders, great people who look out for others and have helped me succeed over the years, who are miserable here. DFS colleagues from the acquisition are leaving in droves.
