Capital One reviews

- If you are experienced hire you will be paid less than an entry level college hire - Company will make you lazy. Coding is secondary here. AWS and buggy enterprise tools is all you will deal with. - Performance Management Process is absolutely horrendous. Stack ranking makes performance management a popularity contest. You need to know how to play office politics. - No COL raises. Only merit raises. They will only give non merit based raises to TDPs (entry level college hires) - Work life balance can be horrible depending on team. - Getting promotions is heavily dependent on the organization you get hired to.

- Performance and promotions are based on who likes you -- not whether you delivered significant business value - Managers promoted to their own level of *incompetence* - Everyone out for themselves - Managers take credit for what their team delivers - You only get a good review if someone else gets a bad one (bell curve) - Managers are limited to how many top performance or promotions they can put forward; so, others get left behind (even if they're doing a good job) - Incompetent managers are never fired -- only their victims that work for them - Improper conduct (harassment) by management only results in a slap on the wrist - Managers don't care if you succeed or fail; employee failure is never seen as a potential reflection on poor management / leadership
