Pluspunten

- 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.

Minpunten

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.

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!
