Pros

It's hard to find positives in relation to my experience with Capo. During my time at the firm they hired a lot of people, many of these left after being deployed into roles that in many cases were just resource augmentation, a bit like a expensive contracting agency. In reality the main pro is that as this is a small firm they don't hold a large pool of people and thus you will be deployed onto a project quickly, unfortunately the roles are often a poor fit as they are driven by client demand rather than your skills and capabilities

Cons

The main con that I would highlight is the poor quality of management and leadership at Capco. Most of the leadership team are completely disconnected from the work force, they are very unable to understand the needs of their people and this is demonstrated by the number of people who join the firm and then leave within 12 months. I have worked in a number of industry and consulting jobs and I have never seen such a large turnover of staff, and I believe this is related to the very poor quality of both leadership and development. Training is of very poor quality , largely focused on induction / initial training and this fails to provide any form of ongoing development In summary you would really be better off as a contractor!

Pros

A few good people left doing a few interesting pockets of work. Office is based in a good location near Liverpool street station. Everyone gets a decent laptop and mobile phone. They don't have a lot of people sitting around waiting for projects so your very likely to get onto a project quickly.

Cons

This really is a bad place to work, they don't seem to have any focus on the people, its very much geared towards the stack em high sell em cheap kind of model. They don't provide any decent training or development. Coaching is very poor from the leadership team and most of the senior management are very focused on developing their own empire rather than anything more interesting. Its frankly just a mess on all levels, they have been hiring lots of Accenture people, so if your coming to capco from Accenture you'll probably be fine, but realize your joining a very different firm. If your not joining from Accenture your not really likely to do very well
