Does anyone have knowledge on capital one BA LOB?

Does anyone have knowledge on capital one BA LOBs?
(I saw one comment that mentioned one LOB is partnership cards but I’m looking for more info)

I would also appreciate any insight on career growth/opportunities available from this role.
Any insight would be excellent!

Thanks!

 

Hey there! Based on the most helpful WSO content, Capital One Business Analyst (BA) Lines of Business (LOBs) vary by office. Here's a quick rundown:

  • Plano office focuses on Auto finance.
  • Chicago office is all about partnership cards, like MLB, Walmart, etc.
  • NYC primarily deals with retail & commercial banking.
  • McLean, which is the headquarters, does everything, but you might want to be in Card.
  • As for Richmond, well, it's a bit of a mystery.

As for career growth and opportunities, the ADP program is the college hire program for Business Analysts, Strategy Analysts, and Data Analysts. The pay-scale is the same for the 3 roles, but the Strategy group might get a slightly higher signing bonus. ADPs get promoted faster than external hires and get better LOB placements.

However, it's worth noting that your career trajectory can sometimes be more limited in offices besides McLean, which is really the center of activity for Capital One.

Hope this helps! Swing back if you have more questions.

CARD: Card has 4 smaller subdivisions; Mainstreet (MS), Upmarket (UM), Partnerships (PTR), and Small Business Card (SBC) with teams like Fraud, risk, etc. existing in each branch. Honestly, anywhere in Card is a great place to be, and in general/broad stroke terms, its largely just trade-offs between one and the other. It is hard to comment too much on each group at this high level just because culture really changes from one team to another. In terms of hours, generally speaking  MS > UM = PTR > SB. In terms of promotion timeline they are all about the same, though MS has a slight edge. For WLB/culture things like remote work, clothing, I would say MS is the most conservative and SBC is the most liberal with PTR and UM inbetween, but it really changes from team to team. Even then, there are no extremes; RTO is not mandatory and most teams are flexible, and for attire the scale is more; casual dress shirt with khakis ---- polo with khakis ---- polo with jeans ---- jeans and a hoodie/t-shirt. I've never seen anyone in a suit for example. Most teams don't track PTO, take off the time you need/want, just make sure you get your work done and your team knows you'll be out. You should try not to go over your allotted PTO (20 days for first full calendar year, 13 fixed holidays, 2 floating, and sick is just take what you need). Card roles most common in McLean, Richmond, NYC, and Chicago for partnerships (that is where Partnerships is ran out of, though there are some McLean based PTR teams).

BANKING: Banking has Retail, Small Business Bank, and Commercial. Honestly Retail and Small Business aren't bad places to be either. The only one here I personally would avoid is Commercial. Its the only place where BAs aren't really in the driver's seat (the commercial bankers are) and has on average the most conservative culture. Capital One is also more geared towards consumers, and has been doing a lot of work on building its small business bank which has more consumer-erq products in development. Most growth on the commercial side has historically also been through acquisitions, so its harder to show value-add on the BA side. Banking roles are most common in NYC, Richmond, and McLean.

AUTO: Honestly everyone I know working in auto loves it. It seems to be very relaxed all around. They had a shocking largely number of promotions after at the 1 year mark this year, but I think that was a one-time thing due to the messed up automarket. With that starting to cool off, and Capital One backing off a bit, I expect they won't repeat that next year. Most of these positions are also done out of Plano, so if you aren't in Plano its highly unlikely that you would be on an Auto Finance team. If you dread the idea of auto finance you can just hype up wanting to work collaborative in person with your mentor and what-not in your role preference form, which should nix it from contention pretty fast.

Niche: Again not really a division, just part of Card (Upmarket) that doesn't actually deal with card products. Great place to be, cool/experimental digital products/services that Capital One is investing heavily in. Usually out of McLean, some teams are out of SF (no ADPs on SF teams as far as I know).
