Pros

Decent work culture, Decent salary and benefits, free food, lot of fun activities. Good work life balance as there is no work

Cons

A very poor engineering team. Senior management in engineering are not at all skilled technologists. Nobody has hands on experience and theoretical knowledge is even pathetic. Company doesnt hire skillful experience people at higher levels. As a result, all the products developed in the bangalore office looks like college projects. In contrast US managers are extremely skilled and hands on. Too much focus on presentations to impress the stakeholders who comes to visit. Almost all of the projects are dropped once the stakeholder visit is over. Also the culture and values Capital one US upholds is very different from what is seen in Bangalore office.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
