Capital One

It’s how we show up and the caliber at which we perform, encouraging everyone around us to do the same.

Strategically Bold

This is all about driving breakout innovation and thinking like an entrepreneur, while also respecting our strategic plan and direction.

Intellectually Rigorous

We look to every associate to exercise judgement, challenge conventional thinking, and make fact-based decisions.

Responsible

Doing the right thing is so important to us. That’s why we encourage every associate to act ethically and thoughtfully, no matter their role or level.

At the end of the day, this is who we are, how we engage with each other and what’s top of mind when serving our communities.

Vulnerable

Vulnerability isn’t weakness. It’s courage. It’s strength. It’s what allows us to show up as ourselves, speak our truth, share our ideas, and build a better Capital One for all.

Teamwork Mindset

We work collaboratively, sharing our information, time and knowledge with one another. This helps achieve great things for us and our customers–all while having fun.

Respectful

Whether it’s elevating associates, giving back to communities or just being kind to ourselves, treating others with respect and dignity is something we all have a part to play in at Capital One.

AI Insights:
Capital One wants to be Amazon without paying Amazon salaries - a bold strategy. Stack ranking every 6 months keeps engineers perpetually auditioning for their own jobs, while the no blame culture exists mostly in PowerPoint decks. WLB is genuinely decent if you survive the biannual hunger games. Great resume line; questionable life choice.
