Pros

Salary is above market rate

Cons

One of the worse experiences of more than 15 years in my professional career in FS. Bullying, bodyshopping, too much bench time, lack of direction from senior management, broken promises - need I go on?! Worth taking 10%-20% less elsewhere than working for this incompetent organisation.

Capco Response

Thank you for your feedback. At Capco, our people are our priority and we are very disappointed to hear about your experience. We have stringent policies in place in relation to bullying and we are committed to ensuring that all our people can be themselves at work. Bullying, in any form, is not tolerated in the firm and we take this matter very seriously, with a commitment to investigating and reporting back to the individual on the outcome. Similarly integrity is one of our core values and something we look to reflect in all our behaviors and interaction with both clients and people. Your feedback suggests that we may have fallen short of our high standards in both these areas and we are very disappointed to learn that and even more disappointed that we have not had the chance to respond. If you haven’t already done so, then we would strongly encourage you to speak with your HR Business Partner and/or Coach regarding your specific concerns so that these can be addressed. You may also wish to contact our global HR Director, Richard Gartside directly, who would be happy to discuss and address your concerns. As you note we do aim to out pay the competition in the market but we are also committed to building an inclusive culture in which everyone can build a rewarding career.

Pros

Change sourcing is when employees are "sold" to the consulting company and continue to work for the client. The deal made with this client kept me from possibly being laid off

Cons

There was no management of the employee to consultant needs and expectations during the transition. Agree with the comments about the "Happy Hour Culture", if you don't participate you don't get ahead. Everyone has to fight to self-promote to the partners to greet ahead. Doesn't matter how great your work is, that's secondary to how many partners know you and how many hours you work beyond what you do for the client even when 100% allocated. Work-life balance doesn't exist if you want a promotion and even with 70 hour weeks it's iffy.

Pros

Capco truly had a lot going for this company before 2015. Work was good, culture was great, people were amazing. There has been a lot of change including a lot of restructuring post December 2014 that has really hit the company's culture and values that they "pride themselves on." I could name lots of pros the company had going for them but none of those exist anymore. Anywho, people who work in this company (except seniors) are truly fantastic and probably the only pro Capco currently has going for them aside from good benefits. I used to love this company and what it stood for. I am extremely disappointed in how they have "progressed" and truly makes me sad to see what used to be a great company whirlwind down the drain.

Cons

- Projects are mundane - Senior management really needs to decide what structure they would like to see the company in instead of changing it every couple of months - Corporate services employees are extremely overworked, overlooked and absolutely not compensated at all for the hard effort that they all put in - Human capital - Lots of miscommunication between different teams in Capco, things really need to be standardized - Yes, performance management is definitely all politics - Mobility is extremely scarce - Bizarre hiring and firing processes, no real job stability - Founder, CEO and probably more individuals who are higher up in the chain resigning are EXTREME red flags - Rare to find good/effective managers/coaches - Company is just falling apart in terms of structuring, people, number of projects, revenue - Bonus is nonexistent, looks like it wont change in future either - The whole company has become unhappy, wake up Capco
