Associates working in the hybrid model are expected to come into the office 3 days a week across Tuesdays and Thursdays, reserving Mondays and Fridays as company-wide virtual days. As was true before the pandemic, expectations of being in the office will be balanced with personal life flexibility. We recognize that everyone has a unique working pattern so we're open to discussing flexible working arrangements that will best accommodate you.
At Capital One we're committed to diversity, inclusion and belonging .
