Capital One reviews

A cut-throat, down right nasty environment where every one is an "expert" no matter how green. The business silos do not work well together - the animosity and competition is ruthless. Middle management drives toward unrealistic goals set by out of touch senior management. (Date driven projects cutting scope to meet schedule resulting in a poorly executed, half-baked product.) The customer is an account and not the reason for doing business.

- Getting promoted is tough. It often feels less about the work you do and more about who sees it. Your manager has to be your hype person; if they stay quiet, your career does too. - Job titles can be misleading. A Data Scientist might spend all day writing SQL, while a Business Analyst somehow ends up helping with machine learning. The title says one thing, the calendar says another. - Remote work is mostly gone. The laptop is still portable, but apparently you are not. - There is a fair amount of office politics. Sometimes doing the work is only half the job; the other half is making sure the right people know you did it. - Data teams do not always get the respect they deserve. Business teams often treat them less like strategic partners and more like “the people who fix the spreadsheet.”
