Pros

Beats unemployment Paychecks twice a month Worklife balance is awesome because the work is a joke. Excluding HR, the backoffice staff is a great eye candy and motivates men to come into the office. Referral bonus is nice and only 3 months are required for your referral. There are over a handful of people who are using the referral system to make up for deficiencies in their pay.

Cons

Where do we start? Besides the fact that Capco isn't a real consultancy, let alone a management consultancy, the "projects" are very poor and it's ultimately a bodyshop. Pipeline is very small to non existent. Big lay offs are coming soon because the bench is massive. Skills rarely align with work and the "domains" concept is merely a facade. 99% of the work in every domain is backoffice/tech related. There is no Capital Markets work, but there are "Capital Markets" clients! This is the main recruiting pitch by the incompetent HR staff, who will take anyone off the street with a pulse and a bachelor's degree. I have a friend who arrived 2.5 hours late to a "Superday" and got an offer. Pathetic... One could go on, but a firm is a representation of its hiring practices and Capco's are terrible from the bottom on up. Leadership is a joke and just a bunch of "partners" with a Rolodex from their Bearing Point days. Yes, the same Bearing Point that went belly up so the writing is on the wall. Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere because the moment you walk out of the elevator, you will wish you never worked here. If you make it past the elevator, try out the cafe to network and talk with the imbeciles they let through the door. If that isn't the nail in the coffin, then good luck!

Pros

- Scrappy, entrepreneurial consulting firm - Smart, likeable people - Deep expertise in capital markets and banking industries - Leadership team is accessible - If you want to fix something, you're empowered to do it.

Cons

- Like most consulting firms, it keeps trying to find revenue sources other than consulting, because that's how you gain a predictable revenue stream - Doesn't have the infrastructure of a big consulting firm (which is also a plus) - Low brand recognition
