Capital One

• There are many opportunities to learn new skills as an engineer at Capital One.
• As an engineer, you will work with other very talented engineers, which will improve your software engineering skills.

• Work-life balance does not exist for Capital One software engineers.

• Performance management is overly competitive, stressful, and similar to how big tech companies run performance management.

• The compensation offered is middle-of-the-market at best and is nowhere near the compensation offered in big tech. This does not justify the quality and amount of work demanded of Capital One engineers or the stress caused by the competitive nature of performance management.

• High-performing engineers who lack leadership and interpersonal skills are promoted to management positions without any management training. This can result in a negative experience for the engineers who report to these new managers and would benefit from reporting to an experienced engineering manager.

Offer training to new engineering managers so that they have the necessary leadership and interpersonal skills to effectively lead their teams.
