Pros

You get to work at big name banks.

Cons

Horrible experience working here. Very cut throat. You have to find your on projects on the bench. If one person says one bad thing about you your career here is killed. Not a respected consulting firm at all. I truly regret working here. It messed up my resume. They will slap you on any project as long as you’re billable.

We are very disappointed to read your review. We have dedicated Resourcing professionals in Capco who focus exclusively on finding suitable projects for any consultants who are ‘on the bench’ (mindful of their skills and personal development). The way we staff projects is an inclusive and interactive process, where we encourage employees to share their interests, aspirations and preferences. Everyone has visibility of all available opportunities, including skill requirements, and people are free to apply directly for those on which they want to be deployed. While we can’t always accommodate every request, we do make it a priority to try to place people in roles where they are most motivated so they can be successful. As the firm is enjoying rapid growth in advance of many of our direct competitors, it does mean that there is an ever broader range of opportunities available to our people. We encourage all project managers and coaches to share ongoing, real-time feedback on performance, so that people have the opportunity to build their capabilities, develop new skills, and grow their careers. We also have a robust performance management process where a range of stakeholders are invited to give input into an individual’s assessment to make this process fair and remove the possibility for unfair bias. We also use a roundtable process to benchmark individuals against their peers, and ensure an objective and fair evaluation. It is not acceptable in Capco for anyone to be impacted adversely for feedback from another individual without proper review from a number of other stakeholders. Therefore, I would encourage you to reach out to the relevant Resourcing Manager or your HR Business Partner to discuss your specific concerns. I am very confident that we will address them to your satisfaction, given development and optional deployment are so central to our people management in Capco.

Pros

Whether you're just starting your career, or transitioning from an industry role, Capco fosters an environment to grow both professionally and personally. Capco puts you in control of your career while supporting your goals and challenging you with a mixture of opportunities. Highly recommend this firm to those that have an entrepreneurial mindset and are motivated to stretch themselves.

Cons

Similar to most consulting firms, your work/life balance will depend on your staffing assignment. Additionally, there have been lots of changes in leadership but Capco's core values/cultural remain intact.
