Employees say:
"Most companies will say that people are their greatest asset. Capital One actually believes it and acts accordingly. Management pushes for employees to take time off to recharge. They actively seek to develop us and our careers. The company wants to know how we employees can be further enabled and empowered to act. Capital One truly gives people the space to be themselves. The employees are generally smart, capable, fun, caring, and collaborative. If you have a question or problem, just post it to a Slack channel, and you'll have people jumping in to help. After five years here, I continue to be astounded by my fellow employees."
"You genuinely feel as though your peers and leadership care about who you are as a person. The culture is very entrepreneurial - we are constantly encouraged to push the status quo to do something great - even if that means there's the chance of safe failure. Positive intent is assumed and employees at a range of levels regularly interact in a title agnostic manner. It's a pretty great place to grow and build a career; not just a job."
"Overall I love working here- it has amazing benefits for young parents (great maternity leave, empathy and understanding of family things popping up, pumping rooms, medical benefits). I am constantly surrounded by smart, motivated people which motivates me to do the best job I can. The company also lives up to the mission of change banking for good."

Employees say:
"Beyond compensation, work-life balance is genuinely encouraged, from the CEO down to people managers. Leaders understand that employees are not robots and need to disconnect. This ability to do so exposes employees to diverse worldly perspectives/experiences, which in turn ensures that employees bring their whole selves to work and put in genuine effort/contributions."
"Capital One has created a culture where people can be fully themselves. I have always felt like I have a voice and that my managers and mentors are advocates for me. I look forward to coming to work, engaging with my peers, and finding creative solutions to get the job done, all facilitated by the Capital One culture."
