Capital One

The people and technologies are cutting edge.

Capital One likes to force people out to keep up attrition and for completion among people with the same job titles. For example, for 10 people rated together, the bottom 2 performers, rated by a manager, are put on probation coaching plans. If the manager does not like you, you will most likely be forced out.

I really enjoyed working there at first. After multiple years of seeing my peers being forced to leave, I knew it was going to catch up to me.

What was really sad is when I turned my equipment in and my former manager asked me to get a job with Wippro as a contractor so I could come back and continue to work there, as they needed good people like me. When I asked why I was forced out, he told me it's the Capital One way.
