Capital One Philippines, a three-time Great Place to Work®-certi?ed organization and one of Asia’s 2025 Best Workplaces, rede?nes growth at work as an opportunity to thrive on and o? the ?eld. By prioritizing ?exibility, well-being, and acknowledging its employees’ need to thrive in multiple areas of their lives, the company has created a supportive and progressive workplace culture often cited as a model for what a modern company should be.
This culture of care and development comes alive through the stories of its people whose experiences give us a peek at what it’s like to grow in a company that lets them live their best lives.
From Javi’s lens: leadership through genuine connections
Javi Rey, an Operations leader at Capital One Philippines, describes the company’s ethos of care as the foundation of everything they do. ‘Malasakit to me is the kindness and thoughtfulness we put at the core of everything we do. I see it everywhere at work, from every associate experience we create to every policy and procedure we have in place.’
Even personal moments re?ect the genuine culture of care. In a di?cult moment in Javi’s life, a senior leader reached out immediately to check on him and o?er support he needed at that time. For Javi, this demonstrated the company’s commitment to support beyond the workplace. ‘It’s a simple gesture but a great example of how it carries over outside the o?ce.’
Apart from his role as an operations lead, Javi also oversees several employee-focused events designed to strengthen connections. ‘We’re big on ?nding ways to help shape a culture where associates can live their best lives both in and out of work. I’ve seen that when people feel genuinely valued and empowered, they bring incredible energy and creativity to their jobs,’ he said.
Iris’ perspective: thriving both in and out of work
Iris Aranda, an HR professional, echoes Javi’s sentiment. ‘I’m passionate about my work and feel ful?lled in my role, yet I never feel that I have to sacri?ce being present for the moments that matter outside the o?ce,’ she shared.
She appreciates the holistic support the company provides. ‘The bene?ts extend to our families. The ?exibility I enjoy at work and in my role allows me to take care of personal things when I need to. Here, I can make time for work and personal life without feeling guilty about it. In fact, whenever I need time for myself or my family, there’s understanding and support. We also have great medical bene?ts and wellness programs that help us stay healthy and balanced-mentally and physically.’
Iris also highlights that this care isn’t limited to policies, it’s woven into the culture. ‘I think it’s how Capital One makes me feel that I belong. I feel I have the con?dence to speak up, try new things, and learn without fear of making mistakes. When people feel safe and supported like that, it’s easier to grow and thrive together.’
Robyne’s point of view: joining for the perks, staying for something deeper
For Robyne Somoza, a frontline customer service representative, the initial draw was simple: ‘At ?rst, I joined for the pay, perks and other really cool bene?ts. As someone helping support my family, that mattered a lot.’
But what convinced her to stay was something else she didn’t expect. ‘I stayed because there’s so much more here than just good compensation. People genuinely look out for each other. And the ?exibility we enjoy helps me manage my responsibilities at home without much stress. This is de?nitely one of the best workplaces.’
Robyne also explains that even as a frontline associate, she sees clear paths for growth. ‘This really is one of the best workplaces out there. The company really walks the talk when it comes to excellence and doing the right thing. You can see it from the leaders all the way down. The vibe here is inclusive, and it really makes you feel comfortable being yourself, no matter your background or beliefs. I came for stability, but I stayed because this is where I can actually build a future.’
