Pros: It's a good name to have on your resume if you don't have a lot of experience.

Cons: Overly bureaucratic. Extremely slow. Managers micromanage the hell out of you. Most people put on this awkward veneer where they act like they have their stuff together. Culture is uncollaborative; people give the least amount of information possible. Culture is competitive among peers due to stack ranking. There are no intrapersonal relationships; it's just work. I knew things were bad, but it wasn't until I left and started my new job that I realized how terrible Capital One is to work at.

Pros: Salary and benefits, and free food.

Cons: The leadership team and directors are not good.

Pros: Good first job. Very nice people who work there.

Cons: They pride themselves on self-learning, career growth, and the "best" work-life balance. But in my 2+ years of being at the company, I found it very difficult to do anything outside of my assigned work, and the claim of having good work-life balance was a complete lie. I spent far too many days working until the late evening and many nighttime production deployments. The way performance management/calibration is handled is awful compared to my colleagues working the same position at other companies. Something to note, though, is that it is a very large company with varying roles. This is just what I experienced in my time at Capital One.
