Capital One Work Experiences
- 1.0No Trust, Toxic EnvironmentPrincipal Software Engineer • Former EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaSeptember 7, 2023Pros: None that I can think of right now, except that the experience taught me not to listen to some people who sing praises of the company, while they may be having a rare experience due to their specific team.Cons: No trust culture; the onus of trust is on you. My manager never scheduled 1-1s with me. Trashy hiring practices were used to fill positions to support very fast growth. Good people were getting stuck with terrible leads and useless teammates. Managers sound nice but have no concern for the people. Toxic environment. Agile show-offs, DEI show-offs.
