Capco reviews

Poor reputation for pure consulting work. Have had several senior clients ask me about Capco's bodyshop stature. They struggle to see the consulting value proposition but clearly see the cheaper (than market) resource aug vp - what's called as ChangeSourcing. Massive focus on billing and resource filling rather than competing for true 'forming future' type engagements. Lots of lone wolves staffed for months, even years on the same resource aug projects - where the most popular role is being a pmo . Hardly a consultative case focused model. Several people leaving firm. Probably for reasons above. Performance management process is worst I've seen in multi national firms. Surprised heads have not rolled in human resources. Not positive on it's reputation in the market for consulting.

Haven't figured out the "go-to market" strategy quite yet, esp after FIS Acquisition of Capco, Clear2Pay & Sungard. Lot of churn at the Leadership levels. There is significant friction with parent FIS, when chasing deals in combined pursuit. Also, Capco is overtly dependent on a few large clients and is not competitive enough when like the Big4, from where it derives talent and competes on the basis of fees. In North America, Capco does a lot of "Run" projects than "Change" projects. There is an exciting relationship with a Brazilian Bank, but that success hasn't been replicable in North America. I do not consider Staff Augmentation or ChangeSourcing (read, Rebadging) , where Capco has been very successful, to be IT Advisory work, which Capco claims, but it helps the company makes its money.
