Pros

- Great coworkers in the lower ranks - Easy to get a job here - Good benefits (but beware, the benefits that look too generous are probably intended to force people to stay because they are too expensive to pay back)

Cons

- People in the higher ranks are manipulative and either delusional or deceptive; this becomes increasingly clear the more time you spend here, but it does not necessarily become more clear who is malicious and who actually somehow believes what they're saying. - The HC/HR department is shockingly unprofessional and untrustworthy, doing everything from discussing personal candidate/employee information in the middle of the office to publicly undermining leaders of other departments (and so much more). - Sexism, sexual harassment, and other cultural problems run rampant and are ignored or barely acknowledged by managers and HC/HR even when it occurs in front of them or is reported to them. - The company uses bizarre hiring and firing practices that have little relation to skills needed on projects, employee performance, ability to manage new hires, keeping up employee morale, or common sense. And there's so much more that could be said, but there's not really any point, because the company as we know it is currently falling apart. The new regime change promises to wipe out much of the top ranks, and who knows how many people at the lower ranks will become collateral damage. And sadly, being engulfed by parent company FIS does not sound like much of an improvement over the current situation even for those who survive the culling.

Pros

Offers a solid base for beginning your career in consulting

Cons

You have to network well to shape your career here - this is a Pro in my mind but I have seen this as a con in many other cases

Pros

A lot of events that are regularly hosted, this does provide an opportunity to meet people during drinks. Access to training is available and the opportunity to deliver training is encouraged should you be knowledgeable in a subject. Free soft drinks should you be based in the office with access to a pool table and a table tennis table.

Cons

As much as I tried, I found that the opportunities to develop myself were non-existent. A lot of the work is filling in on projects with Excel and PowerPoint material. This was a stark contrast to what they had portrayed to me during recruitment. I had read the Glassdoor reviews and dismissed them as being emotional or not a fair reflection of the firm, but they have proved to be accurate. The talent of the firm is fairly low to what I had experienced in both industry and rival firm, middle management are more like fast promoted graduates still leading a student lifestyle and putting the blame on to associates which I could not tolerate. There is a heavy drinking culture, which at first was fine but then I found it was the only way to get promoted because you are 'one of the lads'. It is encouraged to get into a 'relationship' (encounter more like) with co-workers as it would do your career wonders, the problem is that professionalism is an afterthought. Performance management is a joke as the management would ear mark the individuals in advance of the round table and having seen first hand the decision making process I felt no matter how much I defended my representatives it did not matter. They want to get into digital consulting but if you are not good at consulting in FS how can you break into a new sector?? Digital is not just websites!!! With no relationships with suppliers it is not going to bode well. The attrition is beginning to take a hit due to good people leaving for pastures new. Earlier in the year they had acknowledged it was a concern yet that did no stop someone from asking "Will I get a bigger bonus as a result" Seriously that is the type of people that Capco have bred.
