Pros

Great benefits, clean office and work environment, modern look building

Cons

An extremely toxic work environment. Management are unhappy but still put a smile and pretend this organization is the best place to work. Management are incompetent, yet they have expectations for deliverables and expect you to outerperform so they can suck dry the life out of you. The more you show you are smart, the more work you have to do to continue proving yourself to others... even a that stage and you won't even get a promotion because there are zero advancement opportunities. This place is not what it portrays itself to be, leaders back each others up and they always start with initiatives that never finishes or sustainable. Head office does not care about the call centres and people in Toronto believe that they understand operations and always do things in their best interest.

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.
