I interned at Capital One and had the exact opposite of this article. They are pretty serious about being a tech company and the culture of the software engineer teams was on par with you would think a software company would be like. They definitely were switching to the newest technologies(to the extend federal regulations let them) and were pushing the cloud and ML big time. They are also moving all their tech from a small city to a big city. Hours are flexible and there was good work life balance. Maybe that is just the by product of being a younger and smaller organization.
- rainhacker 10y ago> I interned at Capital One I think most banks put a ton of effort to woo interns. I'd be interested to hear what someone full time there who worked for a few years has to say.
- ryanmarsh 10y agoI've had several clients in the banking / credit sector. Capital One is an outlier. They are as good as finance gets for the average developer. On my second day I was given access to the full catalog of AWS. So yes they're all in on the cloud. ML use was visible too. That's not a lie. They have GitHub enterprise and an "open source" culture has grown up around a few projects there that are like internal open source. These projects are not governed by any department but lots of people contribute. I plan to swing back through there again before I retire. It was fun.
