Capital One

Decent pay. Very easy to get promoted if you lack any skill and just know the right way to signal that you are doing way more work than you actually are on a day-to-day basis. Good new hire program from a social standpoint.

Very hit or miss. If you get placed in a bad team, there will not be enough work. You will not develop any skills. You will get punished for having any views different than the herd.

There is an obscure belief that "everyone produces the same amount of work" and the only thing that matters for promotions is anything besides your actual job.

Work-life balance is too good in the sense that 50% of the employees work about 5-10 hours a week total. It's great if you're a parent with 4 kids and don't care about growing your career. Otherwise, it sucks.

You are promoting idiots who quite literally do not know how to code due to the obscure promotion process. Politics comes up way too often at work. If you aren't left-leaning in McLean or right-leaning in Richmond, you won't fit in and will be punished.
