Pros

Capital One provides great work/life balance. Everyone takes great pains to be polite and supportive. There are a number of courses provided by Capital one university to ensure that the employees know how to get along with one another. There is extreme fairness in year-end evaluations and promotions. It takes a good 40 hours every year-end to perform all of the evaluations and cross-calibrations to make sure everyone is assessed fairly in relation to their peers.

Kontras

Senior managers are typically not experts in their departments' core competencies. Therefore, SME employees in the department must "pitch" their ideas for projects to management, progressing slowly along a long learning curve for the manager. To make matters worse, it seems like just about the time your manager finally does "get it," he or she is whisked away to lead some other unrelated department. and the employees must train a new manager.

Pros

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

Kontras

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!
