Pros

- Benefits (3 weeks PTO, sick days don't count, health, dental, vision, FSA matching...) - Work / Life Balance - Employee appreciation (Fun days, spring flings, etc...) - Training - Vision

Cons

The company puts a lot of effort into hiring the "best" and "brightest"... until there is a shortage of employees at which point many of the elements designed to screen the "less desirable" people are often thrown out the window. This is a non issue most of the time, but the company's year end review process is such that people above, below, and at your level have a say and can impact your year end rating. So if politics isn't your game then this may not be the company for you.

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.
