Pros

Good benefits and vacation time

Cons

I left my most recent position with capital one justly because of the manager. She was never there (literally) to give any direction. Also when I took the promotion I was promised a level up come end of the year, mid year through was told that wouldn’t happen till maybe the following year. The straw that broke the camels back was when I had my 1 on 1 with my manager and she would constantly refer to everything as “gay” and she saw the look on my face and even though she knew I was openly gay, said “oh it’s no big deal, it’s just something I say” and continued on. Worked at cap one for a combined total of 4.5 years

Pros

- Good compensation (competitive salary + benefits) - Positive and easygoing people - Lots of social/fun activities - Good work/life balance

Cons

- Pretends to be a top tier tech company but far from it. Also doesn't pay like one. - Tech is mediocre at best. Code quality is low because often they just want to get it out of the door asap. - Agile done all wrong. Lots of rituals/formalities but the spirit is not there. - Collaboration between teams/departments is poor - Canada tech team often bottlenecked by US teams/policies - Senior management (director+) is nearly all white - Too bureaucratic
