      Pros

      Cool image (on the surface)

      Cons

      Partners lying, culture of bullying, and promoting bullies. 90% of colleagues hated the company. Promotes a trendy image but in reality the jobs are unrewardijg and meaningless. If you dont believe me, work there for 1 year and comment. They prefer to talk about the image rather than the job and roles. Glorified PowerPoint slaves.

      Thank you for the comment on our brand. Your other comments are completely at odds with the general feedback on Capco and clearly born out of a frustration with the firm rooted in your individual experience. There is no general culture of bullying in place at Capco. We are very strong in our condemnation of such behaviour and our commitment to take remedial action on response. We encourage staff to raise concerns to another Partner, Manager or HR contact so they can be properly investigated or to report them via the independent helpline and website that is available for this purpose. Capco role are both rewarding (we are regularly praised on this form for paying in advance of the market) and meaningful (we have an exemplary client list and we work in partnership on a wide range of innovative and leading edge projects . If the Capco you have experienced is not one where there are opportunities for progression and development then please don’t be a bystander. Raise your concerns in whatever format you think best and give us the change show a firm consistent with our brand and image. 100’s of individuals make the decision to join Capco each year and go on to have a very fulfilling and rewarding professional experience.

      Layoff City - Ignore the HR responses

      Pros

      Compensation, Severance Pay, Work Distractions, Mostly Clean Bathrooms

      Cons

      A few of my colleagues were laid off earlier this year and I was laid off before them. I get that the economy is in depression now, but there are much more constructive ways to deal with those issues like pivoting, reducing hours/salary, delegating resources, doing temporary layoffs. This company is basically a stack of cards waiting to collapse, lacking financial strength and not meeting targets. - Expect ridiculously long project work cycle hours (16+ hour days) - you can't look after yourself and your family - Leadership is too young, inexperienced - like a startup with cool aid thinking - Leadership is dishonest - Chris Ford lied through his teeth about not downsizing - Politics are rampant especially after poorly chosen projects get cancelled prematurely - They waste time hosting silly, pointless internal events and then post them online instead of supporting billable hours

      The unprecedented business environment in which we operate currently has placed significant additional pressures on all companies and most are taking remedial action in the form of redundancies or cuts in pay or hours, particularly in the smaller firms. At Capco, we have sought to act quickly, where necessary, to protect our business and ensure it is positioned appropriately for future growth and success. The speed at which we have acted to identify and address issues has, so far, mitigated against significant change in the business and supported business continuity. Nevertheless a small number of changes have been necessary and we have sought to manage these openly and with sensitivity and ensure those affected are properly supported. The positive feedback on pay and conditions at Capco indicates we have succeeded to some degree, at least. Your comments on leadership are unfair and untrue. It is only by leaders facing up to difficult decisions in an extremely challenging situation that we are able to protect our people, clients and the business for the future. We will make no apologies for undertaking this responsibility with fortitude and in the best interests of the firm as a whole. A relatively young leadership operating in a flat hierarchy enables us to be innovative and entrepreneurial in our response to Covid -19 but not dishonest. We have followed the advice of the WHO, government and health authorities to the letter in formulating our response and been open and honest with our people at all stages. We have shifted our focus to ensure work is profitable, sustainable and staffed appropriately ensuring our employees are as protected as possible in these difficult times.

      Pros

      I guess the pay?

      Cons

      Don't let anyone lie to you...this is a glorified staff aug company. At first I though maybe I was just caught on a bad account but quickly realized that everyone in the entire company is trying to either leave the firm all together or get staffed on another project. And good luck voicing you want to leave the account...if you do you might as well kiss any chance at a promotion goodbye due to the fact that the partner team you leave will not give a crap about you. All they want is warm bodies in seats to bill out...I was on an account where everyone was bored as hell and it was such a toxic environment. If you like RAG status updates and doing boring busy work, then this is the place for you. Sr. Mgmt is about as inept as it can get...was very, very lucky to get out and into something that will actually help my career.
