Capital One

Benefits are good. Work-life balance is possible.

Misogynistic/bro-culture and favoritism. Despite there being a group centered around "Women in Technology," the actual team dynamics are very different.

Buzzwords are more important than good work.

Quality work is not valued as much as who can peacock the best.

Their recruiters will tell you what you want to hear to get you in the door instead of telling you what the job is really about.

Very disorganized.

A lot of bloated legacy systems manned by people who can't think outside their bubble.

Not friendly or beneficial to engineers that aren't fresh out of college.

You've stacked your deck with people who are too busy trying to show off that they're the best, without the skills to back themselves up. You need to get back to the basics and just hire a few good people instead of trying to make up for quality with quantity.

Stop trying to sell that you're a tech company because it's misleading. Instead, work your way to good practices, and it will sell itself.
