Pros

The people are very smart and very open, which provides a great consensus building environment. This is great for broadening your own knowledge and developing your skills.

Cons

The big reason to work at somewhere like Capital One is work life balance. Take the lower salary and avoid all the pain Wall St hours. It's not like that at Capital One. They work you to exhaustion and undercompensate you. That might work OK if they looked after their staff, but they tend to treat you like a possession and pay no mind to your own career preferences.

Pros

* The work is exciting - get to work with new tech (AI) * Great work environment - they really value work/life balance

Cons

* Highly bureaucratic. Makes it hard to get things done. * Roles and responsibility misalignment often causes too-many-cooks -n-the-kitchen problem

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.
