Pros

Exposure to different tech stacks and cloud services.

Cons

Performance management and stack ranking has gotten worse post covid. Work culture is terrible and there is no collaboration between coworkers due to forced pip percentage ( 7-15% every year) Indian managers are clueless and don't know how to be a people leader. Will throw you under the bus without second thoughts. Very top down politics, isn't worth the mental stress.

Pros

Better WLB than Amazon. Fancy HQ.

Cons

I learned nothing since I came here because most engineers are clueless on what they do (including staff engineers). Hiring bar for engineers is very low compared to actual tech companies. The average code quality across all tech departments is worse than CS undergrads. Culture is rapidly closing to amazon, and this is clearly intentional from the c-suite. C1 is hiring a lot of Amazonians from executive VP down to associate level. Meanwhile the pay is less than half of amazon. Almost everything, from platforms to frameworks, are built in house at Capital One. Debugging and using these platforms and frameworks are absolutely pain in the a**. CEO clearly wants to mimic Google and Amazon yet he didn't realize the talent pool aren't on the same level.
