Capital One reviews

Focus on stack ranking has turned this company into a PIP factory. The company forces a distribution of 10-15% of people being put into the "below expectations" bucket every 6 months and these people get put into a PIP. It makes you resent your high performing peers because their success means you are 1 step closer to being put in the below expectations bucket. They are trying to be like amazon with half the pay. I read the same negative reviews before I joined and chose to ignore them thinking that only disgruntled people would be writing them but they turned out to be 100% accurate. Do yourself a favor and avoid C1.

Knowing what I know now, I would have never joined Capital One. Capital One's culture has taken a turn for the worse. Cutthroat performance management cycles has made the company a political nightmare, with each performance cycle seemingly getting worse it's apparent if you don't have the support of your manager, you'll find yourself out of luck at some point or another. Working here was once enjoyable and felt like everyone was working towards a common goal but now, politics and headcount requirements have turned joining this company into one of the biggest regrets I've ever made. High favoritism is placed on the college grads who enter the Capital One rotational program fresh and unexperienced and if you join the company professionally, you'll find your onboarding nonexistent, your expectations unreasonable high, and your salary quickly being bypassed by new hires who have little value to immediately contribute. It's a frustrating space and I've watched many good friends and employees enter the rotating door, either PIP'd or pushed out and several steps behind in their career because of it.
