Pros

Great corporate culture, smart people, emphasis on work-life balance, very collaborative atmosphere, good salary, strong focus on analytics, meritocratic promotion process

Cons

Your work-life balance is so good that people rarely leave. ;) The biggest negative is that the industry they are in is no longer in growth mode and so professional growth opportunities are limited.

Pros

- Good work environment and great people to work with - Salary at par with most other banks outside of the top 4 or 5 - For new hires out of college, this is a great place to learn the corporate world as you can set your own pace for the learning curve

Cons

- Harder to get promoted past the mid-management level internally, which results in a high turnover rate for people who have been working for more than a few years - As Cap One has increased in size it has become more like a bureaucracy and its difficult to get things done fast

Pros

Capital One has a strong culture of "Excellence and Do the right thing", providing a great work environment to develop and hone critical competencies, numerous development opportunities (large and small projects), while also understanding and promoting the balance between personal life and work. It has been a great place to work for many years while I've progressed in many ways; I highly recommend working for Capital One.

Cons

While working here for many years, our benefits and compensation felt like they were exceptional early on, but with the purchase of other banks they have been decreased in order to provide standard benefits across the board. This, I'm sure, has occurred in many other corporations, but it would have been nice for the 'Maverick' of the financial industry to buck the trend and keep the high level of benefits and just extend them to new banks and employees.
