Pros

-Hires great people from outside ex McKinsey etc. (and then fired them) -good benefits

Cons

-Culture is horrible. Pretend like they care about people but it does not come across in action. Managers who get pathetic scores in associate survey are still around versus manager who get high scores do not get any credit -Performance management is joke. People who get highest award from CEO are fired next month, similarly people who got promoted and have great ratings suddenly get fired. Company does not look into history of performance -Hire great talent and ask them to do weird stuff -Most managers dont have people skills, they joined as analyst and grew into management, never saw outside world so never acquired real people skills

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.
