Pros

RRSP Contribution is very good. Work life balance is awesome, there's virtually no work to do!

Cons

Nothing. Every tech director is building their empire with very little care for their employees. Most of us have nothing to do for a whole year, and managers just lie during the performance review and hope for the best. Literally 5 lines of code will get you through the year. If you work in tech, you will run in to the worst leadership teams imaginable.

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.
