Pros

Good mission, good culture, benefits are good. Health insurance and 401k match are both the best I’ve had. Encourage professional development. Software engineers also build their own infrastructure which is a marketable skill. Decent effort towards diversity and inclusion.

Cons

Performance Management is terrible, kills morale, and is stuck in the 80’s. Salaries could be higher. No negotiation on salary at promotion so negotiate when you start. Culture dependent on team; can be toxic, but can be great depending. Lots of red tape and bureaucracy reducing developer productivity.

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.
