Pros
- There’s a wonderful support group of former employees to help you recover from the extreme mental distress you endure while working here. - Your first month or two will be great (just look at the good reviews; every one of them are from new employees that are begged to write reviews before they realize how awful this place is). However, once you get used to wearing jeans, using a MacBook Pro, and standing at your desk, you’ll start to realize the disastrous decision you made to join this place.
Cons
Capital One Canada is a toxic workplace filled with passive-aggressive, hypocritical, egotistical, and pathological liars. In general, it’s filled with a few types of people- 1- People that want to wear jeans to work and say they work in an “agile” open-office environment, but aren’t capable or smart enough to work at a real technology company. 2- Entitled and spoiled fresh university grads that are paid well above market rate to sell their souls to a successful American company with a dying Canadian division. (These people are half your age with a quarter of the experience, but they passed an antiquated business case interview, therefore they’ll be your manager). 3- People that have been there for years, and can’t work anywhere else because they’re now incapable of delivering real value to an actual company that cares about growing in Canada. 4- American or British “expats” on lucrative packages to come in, run the Canadian division into the ground, and crush the spirits of every Canadian working there.
