Capital One

They are supposedly working on improving developer experience by automating things. CodeGenie is a good example. It's slowly getting better.

EP Tech LOB is not so bad.

C1 seems to be more ethical than some other banks.

Biggest glimmer of hope is that C1 may be learning from their mistakes of overly favoring internal tooling over working off-the-shelf solutions.

Explanations for the reasoning behind major initiatives that are propagated to developers are often surface-level, sometimes even deceptive.

Pay should be better for the workload, especially for LOBs like Card.

Blockers due to nearly unusable internal tooling are a major cause of deadlines being missed.

Stack ranking leads to CPs and PIPs for trivial reasons, and there's no way to appeal or argue against this other than knowing your legal rights.

Capital One is not an organization that is fond of Crucial Conversations. This is more of an organization that likes to blame people lower on the hierarchy for management mistakes. It happens all the time.

Going back to 3 days in the office.
