Pros: Great work-life balance. Friendly environment.

Cons: No cons other than appraisals.

Pros: Good for ambitious young men. Plenty of challenges.

Cons: This was easily one of my worst employment experiences in a long career history. There's a culture of promoting young men fast who exhibit certain technical traits and results. Past experience, emotional intelligence, and doing a good job don't seem valued here. The twice-annual, heavyweight performance review process favors individual results over team collaboration or long-term project success. Microaggressions and poor behavior amongst the successful aren't openly challenged, instead being the norm amongst some. There's a culture of silence from leadership on anything that isn't working or hasn't worked well, opting instead for toxic positivity and constant unexplained change. If this doesn't work for you, expect it will be made your defect, not a structural or cultural issue.

Pros: Decent work culture, decent salary and benefits, free food, and a lot of fun activities. Good work-life balance, as there is no work.

Cons: A very poor engineering team. Senior management in engineering are not at all skilled technologists. Nobody has hands-on experience, and theoretical knowledge is even more pathetic. The company doesn't hire skillful, experienced people at higher levels. As a result, all the products developed in the Bangalore office look like college projects. In contrast, US managers are extremely skilled and hands-on. There's too much focus on presentations to impress stakeholders who come to visit. Almost all projects are dropped once the stakeholder visit is over. Also, the culture and values Capital One US upholds are very different from what is seen in the Bangalore office.
