Capital one Finance technology team
Hi, Have a recruiter reach out to me for a tech role in Finance tech team at capital one. Location - Boston. How is the team, tech, pay and career progression etc. Not looking to jump right away at the opportunity but just wanted to know how tech departments are at a finance company TC - 170k
They just shutdown the Seattle branch. Better hope Boston is high performant. Cap1 is awful. I wouldn't recommended working there to anyone.
Is it more of same in finance sector, or more of how Cap 1 works and does not have much stronger Engineering organization. Personal experience at other major credit card, and feel Engineering Org is not strong.
They use newer technologies, typically, but don't let them fool you into thinking they're a "tech company".
Honestly. With your current tc, if you’re not coming in at a sr manager or higher the tc will be about the same if not lower. That being said it really depends on what you are looking for in a career. Cap one is highly political and regulated so it will be difficult to get much done Edit: don’t expect people from the Boston office to be self identifying. It’s so small it wouldn’t be too difficult to figure out who said what. But there was a commitment to hire a lot of people last I heard. Someone said five hundred but that’s not the most recent figure.
Boston is very new - just opened temp office in April while permanent one under construction. Ultimately 500ish positions there.
What the fuck role did they offer you? Unless you'll be managing people, there's no way that they'll beat your current TC.
Any idea what TC would be for Director of Engineering in Boston?
I would only consider this if you’re struggling with WLB and want to sacrifice almost everything you mentioned for it. Typically, the move is from C1 to Amazon (or any other decent tech company) not the other way around.
I would not recommend Boston. NYC is good.
It this based on Teams or Technology
Boston is a brand new office. Excellent ground floor opportunity. There is a very strong commitment to Boston.
