Pros

if you are young and want some experience (basically to learn) if you dont have another job offer (i would still not recommend joining capco irrespective) if you are very very diplomatic and politically savvy, you might do well if you dont care about your reputation

Cons

UK specific feedback: Worst leadership i have seen in my 16 years of career in delivery and consulting Worst quality of parters I have met with (no vision or coaching abilities) out 8 people joined, 4 have left or sacked. These are seniors with industry expertise and families, they were asked to do job much below their caliber and when they refused, they were sacked No respect for individuals. Its a body shop and no were near to consulting organisation whatsoever My sincere word of caution that even if you are offered good salaries, you will paying be paying much bigger prices in terms of sacrificing your self respect and reputation. Capco does not have good opportunities and healthy pipeline and every diminishing reputation with clients so stay away as there is no secured future with this firm as a managing principal you may be asked to generate numbers which is what recruitment agency consultants do and they do it much better trust me by looking at fitment. here you will be asked to sell bench forcefully setting your reputation up and setting up the consultant from the bench. if either of you disagree with that approach and dont do as asked, you will be sacked under the name of probation. Simply stay away. Trust my word.

Pros

If you are from a non finance back ground and want to gain some financial experience. I was from an investment banking background.

Cons

1. Its not a consultancy, its a body shop. You are sold to the client as a body. 2. All the senior management is from Accenture that makes it worse. They have poached their sycophants from Accenture and made them managers. So people doing junior jobs in Accenture are managers whereas external hires are bought in at lower rank. 3. Dont fall for the advertising. They are hiring a lot but there are many people leaving as well. 4. I left it to join a Big 4 and its 100 times better. Big4 or a bank is a better choice. 5. Its a hiring and firing culture. If you want job security then stay away.
