Capital One

Pay is decent, as is work-life balance. During my time there (10+ years), the organization continued to improve and evolve. Generally speaking, toxic people aren't tolerated for long, although some can hide it better or longer than others. It's still a founder-led company with a very distinct culture. Talent level is high across the company. I would recommend.

The performance management process encourages stack ranking within organizations. If you're on a very high-performing team, you may be rated as average compared to your peers, even if you'd be a rock star on a different team. The projects you work on and how well liked you are are big factors in things like promotion.

If you're a brilliant jerk, expect a lot of coaching. If you're a brilliant jerk who can't be coached, expect to find the door within two years. If you can accept coaching, it's a good place to grow.

Do better at teaching new folks culture. In my opinion, this slipped over my time there and it made a difference. Also, update that performance management system; make team goals part of how people are rated. Spend more time explaining why.
