Pros

- Most engineers I worked with were great and super collaborative. - (It would be a pro if you don't work here)

Cons

- Burn out 24/7, mental health took a toll. Personal life even was heavily impacted because of how the culture and stack ranking is. - Leadership blows, lots of dishonest people who act like they like you, they want to support you, but then they back-stab you. - Everyone gets pipped, no one is safe anymore, doesn't matter how well you do, it's all politics - Toxic culture - The "Bar" doesn't exist, and for some reason it keeps going up and up somehow. I basically did work which would be considered my role if I were promoted. - You won't get promoted unless you enjoy kissing butt.

Pros

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Employee engagement always high priority.

Cons

Note- last year there was 2018, would not allow that option. Highly focused on sales vs service.

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.
