Pros

The compensation and benefits are competitive to above average. You get plenty of vacation days, there is interesting work to be done if your department lets you. It's not a place where you have to sit around to log extra hours in the office for appearance.

Cons

The main problem with Capital One is the professionalism of management. You really have to be on the lookout to see if colleagues are undermining you. I was floored by some of the discussions that I was privy to regarding both business and HR policies. There are absolutely no boundaries to what action someone will take. This issue is part of the culture at Capital One in general. They have put some additional controls in place since the early to mid 00s but it's still kind of a wild west type of place. If you get the right department and manager, it's great. However, there are just so many weak managers in general that at some point you're going to get a bad one.

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.
