Pros

One of the very few large banks that you actually believe is trying to keep a morally justifiable course. All of the horrible headlines about big banks during the financial meltdown largely did not apply to Capital One. They are constantly trying new things and expanding into new areas. Their campuses in Richmond and Plano are top notch, and at least when I was there compensation was above average.

Cons

Constant churn internally. Director and up are constantly moved around, often times just to provide change for change's sake. A department that is running well is almost guaranteed to be largely disbanded within a year. Some people enjoy a new job every year, others not so much. Constant heavy pressure to perform with overly ambitious goals set by senior leadership.

Pros

Most advance tech stack. Cutting edge research

Cons

Performance management and feedback based system drives politics. Senior management usually works towards saving their own a** especially in legacy orgs

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
