Capital One

• Most engineers I worked with were great and super collaborative.
• (It would be a pro if you don't work here)

• Burn out 24/7, mental health took a toll. Personal life was even heavily impacted because of how the culture and stack ranking are.

• Leadership blows; lots of dishonest people who act like they like you, wanting to support you, but then they back-stab you.

• Everyone gets pipped, no one is safe anymore. It doesn't matter how well you do; it's all politics.

• Toxic culture.

• The "Bar" doesn't exist, and for some reason, it keeps going up and up somehow. I basically did work which would be considered my role if I were promoted.

• You won't get promoted unless you enjoy kissing butt.

Go back to COVID times. Please fire a lot of the AWS managers/directors that came over. Kick Rich out because he either doesn't care what's happening or is clueless.
