Looking back, Capital One was basically a waste of time for me. The performance management system brings out the worst in everyone, and the Director-VP levels are filled with politicians, not technologists.

The problems are entrenched. Don't just think another reorg will fix them. You need to profoundly change your incentive structures and hire some bold technical leaders.
