Pros

The company has an outstanding work-life balance with very generous benefits, and any time spent working unusually-long hours is often compensated for at a later date. Richmond campus is a spectacular environment that blows most offices out of the water. Summer internship program was engaging and very well-run; the full-time employees almost made us feel like family. The work was very stimulating given that it was an internship, and I was able to see how my work over the summer positively affected my team.

Cons

HR is a bureaucratic black hole; I received my signing bonus 4 months after I was supposed to. Performance feedback could have been much better, and HR and team management had numerous miscommunications. In addition, the business as a whole is highly cyclical, so keep that in mind if job security is a primary factor in your decision.

Pros

Nice people and truly great work life balance (can be team dependent). Most people are in office 2-3 times a week. Food options are decent (6.8/10) but not as subsidized as I would prefer although they are less pricey than eating out at a Cava/Chipotle.

Cons

Not many, don't have anything to say.

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.
