Pros
Access to a wide range of consulting opportunities delivering services to Global City based Banks.
Salaries are competitive and above average in the market (compared to Big 4)
Bonuses are fair and measured objectively against performance and contribution towards the development of the business
Senior leadership and Capco Client Partners are highly experienced in their field of expertise, are professional, and extremely approachable and open-minded
Opportunity to travel with the business globally
The business is very supportive to its employees that are elite athletes with related ambitions and event commitments. For example, several Capco employees are current or ex Team GB triathletes.
Capco Learning and development function is highly accessible, well managed, with participation in training (in-house and externally) promoted regularly
Employee Offsite events are well organised. Events are held in the summer and xmas. Overall Capco Employee offsite events are fun, held at unique locations, with the emphasis on building relationships and networks with Capco colleague’s vs the typical dull corporate problem solving events. The 2017 Summer off-site for the UK workforce included an afternoon of the Crystal Maze, followed by BBQ and drinks
Socials and domain specific town halls (Capital Markets vs Banking) are held regularly in Shoreditch and/or in the City
Regular Health and Wellbeing initiative events are organised for and by Capco staff (Capco Sports Day, Human Race Team Triathlon and L’etape London Cycling, JP Morgan Challenge)
London office (Shoreditch) environment is vibrant, open, and fun. All Capco staff are encouraged ‘to be yourself at work’ when based at the local Capco office i.e. wear want you want any day of the week.
Cons
Shoreditch office space could be better utilised. There is a lack of private offices or areas for private client meetings/calls, however this is improving
Use of personal lockers is limited to a small number. No secure storage on some floors. Generally, this is not a material issue.
Promotions are generally linked to tenure vs recognition for performing consistently above existing level above
