What do you like about working at Capital One?

"I liked the nice buildings, great office environment, and open seating. The interview with Collaberra took less than 15 minutes. I was told by Collaberra recruiters, We have an exclusive right to hire with Capital One. and We can get you this job immediately! They also gave me pointers and provided insider information on getting the job from a person on the inside doing the job at the time."

What don't you like about working at Capital One?

"No SE planner has been there more than 8 months !!! Training is AWFUL--worst training I have EVER received. POOR, POOR, POOR. I was only trained on forms. They never bothered to train on the project management process. Training is ALWAYS reactive, NEVER proactive. There is no one way of doing things. This is the worst work environment I have ever seen. The person I sat beside talked about everything on the planet the entire time I was at work, making it difficult to focus on actual work in progress. My boss was absolutely awful. He would not answer questions when I asked them. He got upset frequently and often admonished team members directly. Over 80% of the SE PLANNERs are actively looking for another job... on the job. Trainers from India mumbled and garbled their words. They often get upset when asked any question at all. They provide no information on the process--who to talk to and how to find out who to talk to--they were oblivious. Projects were literally dumped on workers. Some workers were literally in tears, as they had so much work to do without any direction. Nearly everybody complains about the lack of direction from management. Management was incredibly bad. Other departments, specifically the router department and project managers complained constantly about our workloads and lack of direction. Most of my training came from them."
