Pros

Interesting project work. Very smart, talented coworkers. Ability to do new things. It doesn't get stale and you are always challenged. Everybody gets a laptop and Blackberry, and the technology tools available are fairly good. There is some flexibility to work remotely, but there are few, if any, professional positions that are advertised as being remote jobs.

Cons

Very heavy on standard, procedures, and process. It's a bank, after all, and heavily regulated. The work environment is "mobile." That means it's so crowded it's like working in an ant hill. Every time they "restack" the work spaces, you end up with less room. Agile work team spaces are like being in pre-school. Everybody sits around a table elbow to elbow and I got two colds and two sinus infections in the first four months with my team. They are leasing new buildings and creating more space, but oh boy is it crowded.

Pros

Capital One is a flexible work environment. There is freedom in how you spend your day and there are opportunities to expand your knowledge in different areas and work towards various professional certifications.

Cons

Capital One seems to have had its heyday in the late 90s and early 2000s. Those who were hired recently (within the last three years) see little opportunity for growth/advancement on a macro level within the company or in creativity on an individual role level. Currently, the company is more interested in maintaining the status quo rather than building creative or exciting products. Also, due to the compensation structure and performance management cycle, promotion and salary are based almost completely on an employee's direct manager (who may or may not have been involved in that employee actual performance) instead of how they actually performed. Therefore, doing an excellent job or going above an beyond does not equal promotion or high ratings.
