Pros: Working for Capital One will definitely give you plenty of cloud experience. I used it with all of my projects.

Cons: Performance management can be a headache at times.

Pros: A smidge more accepting of uniqueness and human personality, potentially depending on your org/team. Maybe believes in DEI? We shall see. Really good salary for the area and current tech job market. I haven't been able to get a job offer with a salary that matches or exceeds.

Cons: The RTO process has been a disaster. Not enough meeting rooms, not enough parking, horrendous traffic patterns to the McLean office. They ask us every quarter via surveys how we feel about RTO, and despite the overwhelming critical feedback, they have made no changes or concessions. Culture is heavily team-dependent. Tons of red tape and bureaucracy. Expect to have to play politics to keep your job. Can work in tech just by exerting "influence," aka be likable. It's honestly your standard corporate job whether you're in tech or not. It's a bank. The company repeats every move Amazon makes because so many ex-Amazon people work here. The company takes advantage of the fact that we're so well-paid now by working us hard - unreasonable and unrealistic deadlines that all of us will panic about and prioritize until, inevitably, the deadline passes and we all adjust as we should have from the start.

Pros: A good place to get started in Data Engineering.

Cons: Nothing much to say now.
