Pros

great benefits and nothing else that I can actually think of right now

Cons

-ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE culture: backstabbing culture encouraged through feedback surveys; you get the feeling that it's like a bad cliche high school movie -their culture forces people to start acting like they are on survivor -existing long term employees are absolutely incompetent both in Canada and USA -HR has no idea what they are doing: do not believe anything they say to you, it is almost always a lie -so much red tape you cannot accomplish anything -very poor compensation package compared to other companies of the same size -old systems that do not function properly -not open to new ideas from new experienced employees -if you are an experienced manager, do not bother coming to this company -be careful when signing your contract, they will try to screw you -they have a great pitch to get you and when you arrive they will sell you on their values, but nobody is actually following through on what they claim -absolutely no work/life balance -if you absolutely need a job, come here but be careful in every aspect and continue looking for a better offer, under no circumstance come here if you are already employed -the only reason why they are rated well in external surveys is because they force their employees to vote this way

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.
