Pros

The company is striving to transform itself into more of a technology company. It offers great work-life balance and a very clear-cut career path from junior engineer to manager and beyond. People are very friendly, talented, and open to talking and sharing their experiences. HR works hard to make sure you are happy. The company has great values and philosophy at Capital One. It is one of the few banks out there that is still founder-led.

Cons

Work is hindered by regulation and such due to being a bank. Most of the projects are internal and necessary, and generally aren't the "sexiest".

There's a lack of open-source projects here.

Team culture may be hit-or-miss. Depending on the location you're in, you might not have the swankiest office spaces and such.

Advice to Management

Work on standardizing culture at Capital One. Some teams are definitely very different from others. It would be nice for management to encourage teams to host more bonding activities and such.
