Capital One - sweet and sour at the same time.

Administrative assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility of working on your own time as long as you get the job done. Community service - we do great things in the community. Great people to work with.

Cons

Don't influence enough of the decisions to be made. Human Resources and hiring leave a bad taste in my mouth. Not all departments allow associates flexibility in working on community service endeavors. Not a lot of consistency among depts and job families. Poor leveling for admin role.

Capital Takes good care of employees, but middle management is lacking training and support.

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance can be quite good at time. Also the people who work there are very smart. There is a strong focus on learning and growing within the company. If you find a good team and good work it can be fantastic

Cons

In general people are not responsible for the outcomes of their work. There is a real lack of connection between what we produce and what actually happens. Additionally, your success will largely be determined by the specific projects you are assigned to. As it is a bit of an experimental business, many of these will fail. So a really good analyst can get screwed because his project doesn't work while a poor analyst may succeed beyond imagination.
