Interesting place to work with talented people, but you'd better like working really close to them. - Project Manager Capital One Employee Review

Pros

Interesting project work. Very smart, talented coworkers. Ability to do new things. It doesn't get stale and you are always challenged. Everybody gets a laptop and Blackberry, and the technology tools available are fairly good. There is some flexibility to work remotely, but there are few, if any, professional positions that are advertised as being remote jobs.

Cons

Very heavy on standard, procedures, and process. It's a bank, after all, and heavily regulated. The work environment is "mobile." That means it's so crowded it's like working in an ant hill. Every time they "restack" the work spaces, you end up with less room. Agile work team spaces are like being in pre-school. Everybody sits around a table elbow to elbow and I got two colds and two sinus infections in the first four months with my team. They are leasing new buildings and creating more space, but oh boy is it crowded.

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
