Capital One reviews

-Worst people and worst management I have ever worked with. Manager+ level employees who don't know the core, basic job responsibilities for their function. How can you justify paying these people 6 figures to do absolutely nothing but delegate and go for "coffee and chats"? How ironic is it that a financial company can't even manage their own department budgets effectively. -Discriminatory hiring practices. This entire company caters to hiring young, new graduates and will turn a blind eye to your application if you're over 40. And trust me, if you're not white, you will not grow here. Shred your resume/delete your application now before going through their useless 4-5 round interviews. -Promises one kind of an experience to customers but delivers the opposite. Similarly, they promise one type of employee experience and deliver the opposite. They preach about being on all sorts of "great places to work" lists but have the most inappropriate, unethical culture you'll ever encounter. Bad behaviour becomes justified for survival, and it even gets rewarded. This is how their leadership team is filled with incompetent "lifers". All of this causes their staff to be stressed, lazy and uncommitted - simply staying for their overpriced pay check, or even better, going on disability leave. -If you're not with the "it crowd" or a threat to your boss, they WILL find a reason to dismiss you, whether it's justified or not. HR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. Keep your problems to yourself, and whatever you do, don't share them with employee relations.

There's an inherent culture of intently studying org charts, dropping names and vying for visibility and customer feedback at every turn to build your case for a promotion. Kissing up your business customer will take you a long way, as will attending happy hours and parties, incessantly promoting your work and being popular in your department. Diversity is a joke. For the most part, data scientists are asians, tech are indians and BAs are white.. and stick to their own groups (friend circles, lunches, .. you get the idea) You'll invariably see asian employees talking to their bosses in mandarin or their local language and feel left out if you don't speak the language and belong to the same team. The company is toxic ; people either stick to their principles (& stay where they are for years), adapt or resign. The ones who adapt become aggressive Type A personalities who stop being team players, feed others' bad information and do everything in their power to use every minute in their own self-benefit. If you want to get ahead in this company, diss others' work, never admit when you're wrong, be supremely confident and take credit for others' work when needed. It can be attributed to miscommunication if identified later. If you're looking for a collaborative team environment and have chosen Capital One, it's hilarious :) Team work is eventually non existent so you'd much rather be put in a team with newbies who don't know any better. Don't believe for one minute that politics doesn't exist or 'Capital One has much less politics than other companies'. BS. Ever wonder why most the people at the director+ level *just happen* to be jerks?
