Pros

Easy work. Supervisors like to hear complicated “stories”.

If you are a good story talker, you will win great rewards even if you are only committing a one-line change.

Cons

A toxic culture where meetings matter more than actual technical work. Management is more concerned about having discussions than solving real problems.

Capital One is a Tier-N company. Not only does this company have a strong PIP culture, but it also offers one of the lowest salaries.

Advice to Management

Stop pip-ing out good engineers and apply higher standards on TDPs.

Pay more to good engineers.
