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
