Avoid unless you're desperate

Pros: Super easy to get into because turnover is so high. Pay is not bad, but not top tier either.
Cons: The performance management system they have is absolutely ludicrous. Basically, they fire 15 to 25% of all software engineers every year. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but it creates a work environment with constant backstabbing, lying, etc.
There are other companies that have a similar model, but they pay significantly more than Capital One. For example, at Amazon, a senior SWE makes an average of $397,682, according to Levels.fyi. At Capital One, a senior SWE makes $206,079. That's not at all in the same ballpark.
