Pros

Seemed a great place to work, which did prove to be true for a short while then cracks began to show in management, performance structures, and even bullying, across multiple departments and not isolated to one area/team.

Cons

Watched multiple team member across the department come and go, a lot of employees left due to the 'curve's performance structure which meant people were always going to be at the lower end, resulting in performance management, PIPs, with no real way back. Zero support from HR, everything was just a tick box process until they booted you out. Happened to colleagues before and after I left, not sure why anyone sticks it out, would never recommend.

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.
