We are disappointed to hear your views of Capco and are glad for the opportunity to respond, as we don’t believe that your experience reflects the high standards of experience which we set for our business.
Firstly, to clarify, Capco was acquired by Wipro, a publicly traded company (not a PE firm), more than a year and a half ago. This was a significant milestone for the company, and an important step in driving our firm to the next level in terms of scale and growth. Our partnership with Wipro has not only strengthened Capco’s offering in the market, enabling us to work together to offer a wider set of capabilities and services to our clients, but also allows for greater opportunities for our people.
While we are part of the Wipro family, Capco remains an independent brand and business, and our leadership team remains committed to retaining and fostering Capco’s unique, Be Yourself at Work culture. This drive and ambition are reflected in our business performance, and contrary to your comments, Capco on its own achieved record organic growth last fiscal year, and we continue to deliver market-leading growth this year.
At Capco, we pride ourselves on being a meritocracy, with a robust performance management process, and two promotions cycles per year. Individuals are assessed by promotion committees and a variety of stakeholders to remove the opportunity for bias and to ensure a fair process. We were delighted to promote more individuals than ever in our recent UK mid-year cycle.
We also have dedicated Resourcing teams to align individuals with roles based on their career aspirations, skillset, and business needs. As is common in the consulting sector, individuals may, at times, be placed in a role which does not directly align to their interests based on business demand. However, there are clear processes in place to ensure that people can move to their preferred role as soon as possible. If an employee is unhappy in their role or would like to explore other opportunities, they can speak with their Project Manager, Coach, the Resourcing Team or HR Business Partner. Equally, we offer over 10,000 learning and development courses and training opportunities to allow for our people to develop and progress their careers in specific skill sets outside of their primary roles.
As referred to above, our global business continues to grow, and we are currently opening offices in at least three new regions. This means the CEO is travelling extensively, spending time in all of our global offices to meet with leaders, employees and clients. This is particularly important after a sustained period where travel was restricted during COVID. We welcome all employees to ask direct questions to our CEO via our CEO Connect page.
We regret that you were unsatisfied with your experience at Capco, but our employees are always encouraged to speak with their Coach, Manager, or HR Business Partner for assistance and support at any time.
