Capital One reviews

too much bullying... some people are egoistic and power hungry, where they purposely sabotage newer staffs by not including them in meetings, giving them the silent treatment, treating them like they don’t exist, not providing them with project updates, and giving them misleading information. And there isn’t only one or two of them, it is a gang of them like that. people are leaving or fired… the company does a good job at hiring good people but then don’t equip them to be successful. new people get discouraged quite quickly because a lot of people go out of their way to make them life miserable. feb is bonus payout time and is when a chunk of the company leaves. when managers don’t like their direct reports they would have HR investigate them and get them fired. it is hard not to be underperforming when the odds is against you so people get fired all the time. another way is reorg-ing them out. weak leadership the slt continues to try to build morale but usually ends up a bunch of people quiet in a room. you can fool the newbies but can fool everyone. turning a blind eye on the bullying issues cause of pressure to drive results. unsustainable approach.

Capital One might've been a good company to work at at some point, but not anymore. The company is overrun by narcissists, sociopaths, and ex-Amazon hires. As an engineer, you'll have little growth opportunities as every day the only things that matter are influence and posturing yourself against others. It's common to have your managers steal credit for your work and play carrot on the stick when it comes to promotions. It's also likely you'll get a PIP in your first 6 months, as many teams hire people as PIP fodder to protect their existing teams. If you're lucky enough to make it past, you'll be in a never-ending battle of toxicity and meaningless work. Internal tools and platforms are unintuitive and poorly done, and everything has a process or some crappy platform you have to use. If you're not building, you're probably dealing with "ETBs" or busy work like patching vulnerabilities. After working at many companies, this is the worst place I've seen: toxic culture, PIP factory, and abysmal engineering practices. Strongly do not recommend.
