Pluspunten

- Great compensation and benefits package - Flexible work hours and environment - Great people to work with

Minpunten

- Work-life balance can be great because of the flexibility, but often there is literally a lot more work to do compared with similar roles in other banks - Managers have too much power over an associate: the same manager is your day to day direct boss, controls your performance/pay (no open discussion with other managers needed), and is also the official career advisor (which is usually a conflict of interest with their role as your direct boss) - Some people managers are very inexperienced (fresh grad, worked at Capital One for 3 years, promoted to people manager) - Management judge people by superficial impressions a lot more. Everybody that succeed at Capital One has the same personality traits and there is very little room for an introverted analyst to bloom who just wants to do work (as opposed to show off work). I get it that this is necessary for certain jobs/industries (e.g., consulting), but a bank should be able to make room for diverse personality. - People experience very different career prospects within the company, due to the aforementioned difference in personality

Pluspunten

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Minpunten

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
