Pros

People are fun. They sent the entire company to Puerto Rico for a weekend.

Cons

The work is beyond mind-numbing, even on the "good projects." This is a staff augmentation firm disguised as a consulting company. No where else in the industry is it common practice to be on a project for at least a year. Senior management lies and does not support mobility. A partner quoted the statistic that from the time a resource states they would like mobility, it will take 6 months to a year. In that time, the average employee has left the firm, and management is "shocked." Capco prays on ignorant college students who want to get into finance/consulting to join the Associate Talent Program. The 2-week training is a waste of time and does not prepare anyone for client work, which is just project management and communication.

Pros

Pretty useful internal training opportunities Some beautiful, smart colleagues

Cons

They stopped my salary after a month into employment. The reason? Covid. I asked them how long for? The answer was: until they find me a project. This put a lot of stress on me and my family. Some of their internal stakeholders I dealt with on their UBS account demonstrated low emotional intelligence and unfair behaviours—avoid that account if you could. Another one is HSBC. I received all the positive feedback during my probation period. At the end of it, they decided to extend it with completely new feedback that was never given to me before. I left the company after seven months of the worst employment experience in my twenty years of career.

Absolute worst and most de-motivating

Pros

This place is perfect for the young, inexperienced and willing to latch on to someone who is on the "fast track" and don't mind doing whatever they want at whatever time or day, then this place is ideal.

Cons

This is your classic - it's all about who you know NOT what you know. We have immature, arrogant and ego-driven "leaders" who are not open to feedback. The criteria by which a consultant is assessed is inconsistent and vary from person to person. They speak of transparency and trust but have done nothing to instill this. They value those who will conform and not point out the inefficiencies and short-comings of "management" decisions. There is blatant favoritism and preferential treatment because of a "fixed" coaching tree. Human capital on this account is inexperienced and knows little about relationship building. Anything raised to their attention is either ignored, provided a contradicting canned response, or an exception which can not be explained unless within the "circle of trust".
