Pros

There are great people who work here. My team is fantastic, and the work I do is 60/40. It used to feel 100/0.

Cons

The whole RTO process is stupid.

They don't care anymore for the work you do; they care about you coming in for x amount of hours. You can literally sit and do nothing for 2 days a week, be lazy, and watch YouTube, and Capital One will be happy that you're in the office.

The performance review ladder is garbage; there's literally no room for growth. The bar keeps getting raised every year, and it's gotten to the point of doing an insane amount of work, and then your leaders saying, "That's great, but you can do more." I literally don't have the capacity to sell my soul.

I used to recommend this place for friends to work at, but after 2023, not anymore.

Advice to Management

Change the culture. Keep RTO out, at least ask for 2 days a month. Fix the performance review ladder, or reset the bar all across Capital One; it's literally BS at this point. The all-associate survey definitely gets "padded" with false numbers.
