Avoid unless you're desperate
Super easy to get into because turnover is so high. Pay is not bad, but not top tier either.
The performance management system they have is absolutely ludicrous. Basically, they fire 15 to 25% of all software engineers every year. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but it creates a work environment with constant backstabbing, lying, etc.
There are other companies that have a similar model, but they pay significantly more than Capital One. For example, at Amazon, a senior SWE makes an average of $397,682, according to Levels.fyi. At Capital One, a senior SWE makes $206,079. That's not at all in the same ballpark.
Get rid of mandatory PIP quotas.
