Pros

I think Capital One has a better WLB than other big tech, and pay is still good (though not on FAANG level).

Tech is very good for a bank -- everything is cloud-based and utilizing good engineering practices for the most part.

The internship/TDP (post-grad) entry program is great, especially the internship. Seriously, it's GOATED.

Smart coworkers, though like any company, this will vary.

Rich Fairbanks is a great leader.

Cons

Influx of AWS employees bringing over some AWS culture, like stack rankings, which I am not a fan of.

Slowly pushing for more days in office (though right now, this is reasonable).

Advice to Management

Stop bringing in the AWS culture.
