Pros

If you're lucky and get staffed on an interesting project, you can learn a lot of deep banking and capital market skills here

Cons

Not sure where their Technology practice is going - seems to focus on low-margin stuff that none of the other competitors want to do (testing etc...)

Pros

- Opportunities to work on high profile projects at major financial institutions - Direct engagement with Front Office employees - Opportunity to hone your excel and powerpoint skills - Learn to present to client senior management

Cons

- Internal promotion structure rewards internal projects and partner face time as opposed to effective delivery on the client site. - Little opportunity to move around to different projects and not enough diversification of young consultants looking to experience a wide breadth of projects and clients

Avoid Capco at all costs

Pros

Good people at the team leader level, and I do believe that upper management is legitimately trying to turn Capco into a good place to work, but it's just not working.

Cons

Unfortunately, the Cons are many. -This firm is the definition of having to kiss some rear ends to get ahead. Your merit as a value add is always overshadowed by how much the partners know/like you. This results in alot of schmoozing required to get ahead. -Long hours, not great pay. -There is an almost high-school level of bullying that exists between seniors and associates. I was mid level, but I literally watched seniors ask associates to get them coffee, or steal food from their plate. Completely immature. -HR is completely disorganized. They are quick to hire, but can't even schedule your induction correctly. -Focus is entirely on sales at the upper levels, and the responsibility of a firm to advance the career of their lower level works is lost. This results in a very exploitative relationship with new hires
