Pros

I ended up leaving Capco to change the direction of my career. However, I had a great time during my time at Capco, due to some of the following: - Compensation - Upward Mobility (Promotions are based on talent, not seniority. If you work hard and demonstrate the skills for the next level, you can be promoted, no matter what your tenure or age is.) - Leadership (Everyone, including partners are very approachable to anyone. They care about your growth and development and listen to your feedbacks.) - Culture/People (Work hard, play hard. Very social, everyone is friendly, with great happy hours, Christmas parties, charity projects, ski trips, etc. I have met some of my closest friends here.) - Great benefits (Good healthcare, vacation days, and all the other typical benefits such as 401k match) - Flexibility (I requested to have local projects, and they were able to accommodate) - Gorgeous Office (Beautiful location in NY, free drinks and snacks, lot of space)

Cons

Some of the downsides I faced while working at Capco included: - You can get lost in the shuffle if you don't make an effort to get involved in Capco events - You can miss out on some of the networking opportunities if you are in a smaller project or away travelling during town halls, happy hours, etc.

Pros

Free coffee - that is literally it.

Cons

- #Proudcrowd - What a Joke. This is just an excuse for the 'inner circle' clique to openly dictate the direction and culture of the company. Get rid of it, it's incredibly damaging - Bad Projects - Capco do not have good projects. Expect to either do BAU roles or Change Sourcing. - Terrible talent - I have never met so many incompetent 'consultants' - especially at SC/PC level. There are a lot of people who managed to get promoted to this level, purely through being part of the right 'crowd'

Pros

Smaller firm, so less admin type of work compared to big 4. Will initially overpay to attract employees.

Cons

No real projects, more of a body shop. Heavily invested in GSEs, tech pmo work. Difficult selling to clients, therefore limited work. Partners have limited contacts. If you are not close to a partner you will receive very little comp. Lots of Bearingpoint people, the same place that went bankrupt. Old capco had a strong reputation. Lots of layoffs in 2011 due to reliance on one client. Promoted lots of people to roles they are not fit for.
