Nothing to learn in a bank pretending to be a tech company
Nothing to learn in a bank pretending to be a tech company
Better work-life balance than Amazon. Fancy headquarters.
I learned nothing since I came here because most engineers are clueless on what they do (including staff engineers).
The hiring bar for engineers is very low compared to actual tech companies.
The average code quality across all tech departments is worse than CS undergrads.
Culture is rapidly closing to Amazon, and this is clearly intentional from the C-suite. C1 is hiring a lot of Amazonians from executive VP down to associate level. Meanwhile, the pay is less than half of Amazon.
Almost everything, from platforms to frameworks, is built in-house at Capital One. Debugging and using these platforms and frameworks are an absolute pain in the ass. The CEO clearly wants to mimic Google and Amazon, yet he didn't realize the talent pool isn't on the same level.
You are a bank, so stop pretending to be a tech company.
