Capital One reviews

-Talent is pretty mediocre. Some of the people are awful engineers, not very bright people but as widely established performance management is less about how good you are and more about politics. -performance management. Subjective mess twice a year. You will constantly worry about potentially not having a job in 3-4 months -You have to go through a 2-4 week review process for any changes you want to make, it’s an engineer’s nightmare come true. Even the most simple changes. -“eliminate arbitrary uniqueness” so let’s create 20 enterprise platforms that barely work, non deterministic, and make it where engineers are bottlenecked by the platform team as opposed to using open sourced widely adopted industry tools that people can find support for online. Nice job, tech leadership. What a stupid idea

Despite its rigorous hiring process, the company goes out of its way to psychologically wear you down until you eventually leave on your own accord or are put through its impersonal and insulting PIP experience. Performance review season never ends, and you will watch as your talented, dedicated colleagues lose their access to health insurance because a member of the senior leadership team decides they don't "measure" against another employee who works on a different product and in a different team environment. If you're lucky, it won't happen to you, but the odds aren't in your favor, especially if you work in UX as a designer or researcher. And if you work for a newer or less established team, your chances of getting pushed out are exponentially higher.
