Pros

Good for grads/intern to join in UK, then after few year go for better salary outside.

Cons

Avoid Capitalone if you are an ethnic candidate, it's not worth your time finding your way out of system ,that is working against you. Limited opportunities to grow high up. There is culture of privilege, In majority of low performer cases -ethnic minorities are at receiving end, resulting in talented people choosing to leave. Very high attrition rate of ethnic minorities in Capitalone UK.

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
