Pros

- Decent code base - Some good people at the company who will help you learn and improve - Good extras (retirement matching, annual bonus etc) - Nice vacation time

Cons

- Mandating return to office 2-3 days a week despite every indication from past company meetings that employees are not interested - A lot of toxic practices and micromanaging disguised behind things such as 'culture'. 'collaboration', 'team building' etc - A huge amount of 'for lifer' employees who lack external perspective and who parrot whatever the company stance is - Tone deaf all hands meetings to hear about the senior leadership teams trips and vacations

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.
