Pros

Lots of free food when you are in the office.

Cons

Where do I begin? In order to get promoted you need to be the most popular kid in the office. You have talent? It doesn't matter. Go to happy hours every Friday and it will guarantee that promotion you have been working so hard for. Planning something like a trivia night is not innovation. It's sad that senior management encourages this kind of behavior and it's seemingly clear who the favorites are because they get ahead the quickest. Favoritism is widely practiced here. Also, good luck getting honest feedback. The only feedback you will receive is "you need more face time with the Partners and get more involved with Capco initiatives." How do you suggest I do this when I am spending 60 hours a week at the client? Shouldn't excelling at the client be more important? Nope, because clearly getting good feedback from the client and having high billability isn't good enough.

Pros

None that I can recall. I moved from large MNC to this company hoping some quality work and good environment to use my qualification. Instead, the projects here are mostly for high school kids. The people who work here are the most ignorant people i have ever met. Politics runs very high in the team and HRs are helpless and are no help to you. I left the company within a month of joining.

Cons

-- Higher mangement is useless -- Team members are not very qualified (at least I can say that for Bangalore, India) -- Work is a call center job -- HR team is as good as not being there -- Better not to mention others I left the job as soon as I joined. All the other team people I came in contact have the same vision.

Pros

I ended up leaving Capco to change the direction of my career. However, I had a great time during my time at Capco, due to some of the following: - Compensation - Upward Mobility (Promotions are based on talent, not seniority. If you work hard and demonstrate the skills for the next level, you can be promoted, no matter what your tenure or age is.) - Leadership (Everyone, including partners are very approachable to anyone. They care about your growth and development and listen to your feedbacks.) - Culture/People (Work hard, play hard. Very social, everyone is friendly, with great happy hours, Christmas parties, charity projects, ski trips, etc. I have met some of my closest friends here.) - Great benefits (Good healthcare, vacation days, and all the other typical benefits such as 401k match) - Flexibility (I requested to have local projects, and they were able to accommodate) - Gorgeous Office (Beautiful location in NY, free drinks and snacks, lot of space)

Cons

Some of the downsides I faced while working at Capco included: - You can get lost in the shuffle if you don't make an effort to get involved in Capco events - You can miss out on some of the networking opportunities if you are in a smaller project or away travelling during town halls, happy hours, etc.
