Capital One Work Experiences
- 3.0Inconsistent culture – beware of stack rankingSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeRichmond, Virginia, United StatesJune 10, 2024Pros: Modern tech stack, competitive compensationCons: Experiences can vary wildly between teams and departments. Stack ranking means that no one wants to be on the bottom, which can lead to infighting and competition over relatively little work. Everyone wants to have their niche, and everyone wants to keep you out of their niche. After recent changes to the PIP and ranking system, no one feels secure here, and team collaboration has suffered as a result.
