Capco reviews

- An entrepreneurial environment is not going to be for you if you are used to sitting back and waiting for opportunities to come for you, many come from industry (as opposed to consulting) and do not appreciate the need to manage your own career - While they aim for a 50:50 blend of FS acumen to consulting skills, many resources have come straight from industry and require investment of time from consultants to round them out, so coaching becomes very important - Being small and young requires pivoting; propositions and methodologies aren't always fully formed as they would be in a larger organization. On the flip-side, you get to create them - Demand and growth is strong (>30% yoy), which means that resource constraints is a continuing challenge especially as Capco has high standards in the recruitment process

Most of the negative reviews here are too emotional but they raise many accurate and fair points. I think Capco would go a long way to reducing this ill-will and negative sentiment among employees (current and former) if it simply prescribed to telling the truth throughout the hiring process. The main issue I see is that management actively plays the company up as a worthy competitor to the big and reputable consulting firms out there but really 90% of what it has to offer is pure staff augmentation/body shopping/changesourcing - whatever you want to call it. That's not to say these projects don't exist at other firms; it's just that they have the appropriate scale required for their employees that signed up as CONSULTANTS to be staffed on CONSULTING projects, and their MANAGED SERVICES folks to work on the steady cash-flow, temp resourcing engagements.
