I just got word that I passed the Capital One Power Day for the PM loop and I will be meeting w a couple of hiring managers from diff teams and see which team I like the best. What are best ways of going about these and what are some good questions to ask to understand how fast your career will grow, the overall culture and the wlb of the team?

Hey! Congratulations!
I think there are diff ways to ask sensitive questions like - how do you rate the caliber of your cohorts and is there room for significant growth on the team? How do you manage a demanding job like being a PM with your hobbies outside of work? Etc - stories they tell will answer the underlying questions you have.

Hi I recommend you check social media sentiment on working at Capital One before you join. Check Blind where feedback is anonymous so tends to be more transparent

It’s a major pay bump for me and it works out well for my needs. I do hear the pip factory and stack ranking concerns but I’ve heard that’s more rampant amongst devs?

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful
