Pros

I cannot think of anything. Perhaps CEO's vision is great. Benefits are great.

Cons

I experienced the worst ever leadership and management here in Canada Tech. The culture in capital one US is far better. Leadership here has no clue how to handle situations. They keep passing on problems. Worst decision making ever. They run a generic job description for recruitment and place people in any position that is open irrespective of matching skills. People are continuously leaving. Recruitment standards are pretty low. Make sure you discuss the role, responsibilities and your matching technology skill set before joining. They lure you with higher salary than market. Even if you have joined recently, fail fast, leave and find something better. Do not ruin your career here, not worth it. If you keep dragging on it would be too late. There are far better things to do elsewhere than working at Capital One Canada Tech. Capital one Canada is just a bunch of people relying on what US gives them to work on. No place for innovation. They are harping on one single innovation that happened from Canada for very long time . Too many org changes too often leaving you gasping and play catch up game. They claim to be an Agile house but they are nowhere near. The circumstances will make you unlearn a lot, ruining your hard earned knowledge and practical experience. There is no scope to apply agile practices. Serious Warning: Managers, Developers if you want to learn and grow and make a career, join a real tech company with good business model. If you join Capital One Canada, one day you will repent and say, if only I had taken right decision not to join this place.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
