Pros
Capital One is a fantastic place to work due to the environment. Managers are really flexible with where and how you work through the future of work program. People are encouraged to apply for different positions every few years to build their respective skill set. The company has a significant amount of very smart people. Managers are encouraged to have 10:10's meetings atleast monthly to discuss your performance. Benefits and the work-life balance are well above average.
Cons
Many of Capital One's pros also result in the cons. The hiring process is geared toward hiring highly ambitious and intelligent people. This results in a very competitive environment where people are backstabbing and stepping on others to get ahead. The highly PC environment results in a lack of honesty/integrity and a reluctance to hold people accountable. People have a high degree of academic and business intelligence, but emotional intellligence / social skills are lacking. The performance evaluation process is highly suspect as it force ranks people in the same departments at the same level. Some groups have a high level of performance and great employees while others are worthless. Many people do not provide any value add to the company. TOO MANY CHIEFS...
