Capital One was selected among hundreds of companies vying for a place
on the list this year. Applicant companies opt to participate in the
selection process, which includes an employee survey and an in-depth

methodology based on five dimensions: credibility, respect, fairness,
pride and camaraderie.

consistently trust the people they work for, have pride in what they do
and enjoy the people with whom they work.
