4.0 of 5 stars

June 2017 | CURRENT EMPLOYEE

Uppers

Work-life balance, facilities, colleagues from top schools, compensation in line with MBB, training, flexible work schedules

Downers

Depending on what team you're on, work can be very dry/unglamorous/inconsequential. Great leadership at the top but weak in middle/upper-middle management. Tons of middle-management means limited exposure to senior leadership/big picture.

Advice to Candidates

No better place if work-life balance is important to you, but climbing the latter takes a while and you won't see your paychecks grow at a very fast rate year over year.

Uppers

Collegial atmosphere at headquarters, freedom to work on the projects that interest you

Downers

I found that the most interesting departments were in the Richmond offices, which isn't the greatest place to live

Advice to Candidates

Prepare for a case interview; I had no expectations that I would get one, and they surprised me with it at the end.

The work can be boring at times and not a lot of room to rotate to new assignments.

OK company for entry-level analysts, depending on what you're looking for

3.0 of 5 stars

February 2015 | CURRENT EMPLOYEE

Uppers

Good work-life balance for certain teams, top salaries for credit card and retail banking analysts

Downers

Does not promote executives from within, bad work-life balance for certain teams, poor distribution of work among teams, very beaurocratic performance management process, many positions are menial and do not drive value for customers

Advice to Candidates

Capital One may be a good place to work depending on your background - the amenities and pay are both industry-leading. That said, the company does not offer strong growth opportunities from within. Because of this, a very large number of employees get stuck in middle management or leave.

Capital One is a good choice for recent grads, career switchers, and people looking for a place to finish their career, but it is often not a good fit for those looking to get promoted quickly.
