Pros: Attempts to improve the quality of the engineering at the company. The pay and benefits.

Cons: Firing quotas, an unnecessarily involved biannual performance management cycle, and a forced return to office.

Pros: Great teammates from my experiences on two different teams, that's about it, really. Work-life balance is pretty good, I guess. You're rarely working outside of core hours. Diversity and inclusion is fine(?); I don't know if people actually care about that.

Cons: Managers, at least for the ones I've gotten, have been fairly inadequate. This includes a lack of team involvement and failure to do any actual performance management outside of looking at how many stories you've done. Unless you're going to stick your neck out and express any/all of your work verbally and challenge ideas during meetings, you could be graded fairly low in certain criteria during performance review time, regardless of your work during code reviews or anything that isn't verbally presented with the manager's presence. There are also these stupid Capital One values (participating in company events, volunteering, etc.) where it basically means jack all, but they're part of your performance review. The managers don't really care too much about those, luckily.

Pros: - Good work-life balance - Very friendly culture

Cons: - Slow to adopt new tech. - Standard bank bureaucracy.
