Perception = a so-so consultancy; Reality = a clumsily-managed body shop
Pros
Like other reviewers, having difficulty meeting the 20 word minimum here. The free snacks downstairs are nice, I guess.
Cons
Every negative review is absolutely true. No choice. No direction. Bad pay. Slap-in-the-face bonuses. Endless pleas to refer unsuspecting friends and family. Inept managers kicked out of other firms. “Innovation” that can be purchased at any print-shop. Horrible to start a career, or continue one. A black hole on any resume, for sure. I've been here for two and a half years and it is absolutely obvious that managers DO NOT CARE about your career or your well-being. A project “opportunity” (read: back-office IT paper pushing) became available two hours from your home? Be there at 7:30 AM sharp tomorrow, no reimbursements; you're local, remember? You're stuck on the bench after your PM couldn't hoodwink the client any longer? Better cancel that vacation you have planned with your family in December – you're using vacation time starting today! Having a baby? Capco doesn't really do maternity leave (two weeks max), so be sure to use all your PTO first! All of the above are real examples that colleagues suffered through, by the way. Get out if you can. Do not take a position here under any circumstances. I would never recommend this body shop in consultancy's clothing to anyone. Just yesterday they announced we're all officially FiS employees anyhow. Pathetic. P.S. Don't trust any of their new tools, like the “anonymous” Upward Feedback tool. It isn't anonymous, and they're using it to weed out anyone who has a negative view of the company (like most do). Honesty is HEAVILY frowned upon at Capco.
