For an operator $T$ and basis $B$, $T(v)=\lambda v$ iff $[T]_B[v]_B=\lambda[v]_B$. Thus eigenvalues agree, while eigenvectors correspond through the coordinate map; an abstract vector $v$ is not literally its coordinate column. Matrix representations in different bases are similar and therefore have identical characteristic polynomials.
