Beware

Pros

Great benefits and good compensation. Severance packages are generous, which is good since they layoff 8-15% every 6 month performance cycle.

Cons

Stack rankings are creating an extremely negative work environment. If you loved middle drama, Capital One is a great work place, but if you struggle with any mental health related issues, steer clear. Orgs are hiring to fire so I can protect their existing employees. Everyone is so stressed knowing another 10% are going under the bus at year end. Being a veteran, my mental health has really taken a bad turn while working here. Always looking for reasons to tear you down.

Pros

- There are many opportunities to learn new skills as an engineer at Capital One - As an engineer, you will work with other very talented engineers, which will improve your software engineering skills

Cons

- Work-life balance does not exist for Capital One software engineers - Performance management is overly competitive, stressful, and similar to how the big tech companies run performance management - The compensation offered is middle-of-the-market at best and is nowhere near the compensation offered in big tech, which does not justify the quality and amount of work demanded of Capital One engineers or the stress caused by the competitive nature of performance management - High performing engineers who lack leadership and interpersonal skills are promoted to management positions without any management training, which can result in a negative experience for the engineers who report to these new managers and would benefit from reporting to an experienced engineering manager

Not a good place to work

Pros

Great medical 401k and education benefits

Cons

Stack ranking at scale and very toxic environment to work for, extremely top heavy org and there are relatively less firing at the top(PL level) compared to the bottom level (the people who actually get the job done). This shows that the top management plays dirty tricks to keep their job's safe at the expense of the actual workers. DO NOT JOIN!!!
