Pros: Good benefits, work-life balance if you don't care about promotion or being put into a low rank.

Cons: This review may only apply to a specific sub-LOB, but if you are in this sub-LOB, you know what I am talking about. They hire you as a Machine Learning Engineer, and you then find there is nothing in your daily work that has anything to do with machine learning. Half of your time is spent working on governance and OPL. Your skillsets or domain knowledge in machine learning will diminish due to lack of use. The managers who have Machine Learning titles know nothing about machine learning. They got this title when the organization shifted its focus to machine learning and needed the headcount to show stakeholders that C1 is AI-driven. They never understood nor appreciated your insights or skillsets. On the contrary, some managers exhibit hostility due to feeling threatened by the hired Machine Learning Engineers' better insight on the project as a whole. Stay away if you are a Machine Learning Engineer.

Pros: Good WLB and a nice working atmosphere.

Cons: Lowish pay compared to other tech companies.

Pros: The benefits are very good. The health insurance and 401k options are better than average. In many departments, they allow people to work from home when needed.

Cons: 1. There is no job security and no stability in management. 2. There is always a large amount of staff turnover. 3. They encourage people to move around from one position to another almost every year. 4. If you stay in one position more than 2 years, you will be considered stale and a candidate for their redeployment process, which is really another term for layoff. 5. In the banking side of the company, they rely 100% on vendors to do all of the IT processing and changes. They even hire contractors to do the unit and system testing. 6. There is very little in-depth knowledge at Capital One about how the IT system that is used for their retail banking operations works. 7. Every new hire must pass a 'personality test'. This leads to an environment where everyone is alike and very boring. 8. Since all of the day-to-day operations work is outsourced to vendors, the Capital One employees really just work on meaningless tasks to please the directors. Nobody below executive management does any 'real' work. 9. The review process is an example of HR gone to the extreme – it takes up a ton of time for both the employees and managers. 10. If you have any morals and try to treat others as you would have them treat you, you won't survive at Capital One. 11. The environment for the day-to-day non-executive management staff is a model of survival of the fittest, but since most of the work is outsourced to vendors, it is more like a game of survival. 12. Your job becomes navigating the review process and changing positions quickly enough to keep on keeping on. 13. The executive management team makes very good decisions on what banks and credit card companies to purchase. But they have no idea on how to run the internals of daily business. 14. Everyone who worked with me at Capital One had the same point of view as I did. 15. If you want a career at Capital One, you should be prepared to step on people and basically your main task will be to navigate through the yearly performance review process so that you survive another year.
