Internal HR is a joke

Pros

I get paid on a monthly basis.

Cons

The HR team cannot manage a simple task of sharing information on end of year performance in a timely manner. There is no management of people's expectations. This is my career. Yet Capco deal with people as if we are pawns and then wonder why people decide to leave.

Thank you for your feedback. There was a clear timeline communicated around performance management at the start of the process, which was closely followed throughout. However, we appreciate there was a short delay at the very end, with the final communication happening later in the week than anticipated. As with all our processes, we are committed to listening to feedback and making improvements where needed. If you would like to discuss your feedback further, please reach out to a member of the HR team.

Pros

Super approachable across the hierarchy High demand for work at the moment Very sociable. This is off the back off the pandemic, people are coming into the office more and more and everyone seems to be loving the social interaction which is great. Growing client base Very impressive diversity at associate-senior consultant levels. Can't tell for more senior positions. A good and bad thing is that CAPCO is very open and flexible in the overall career path you can take, however, you really have to steer and drive it to get what you want from it. Some people prefer a more fixed programme.

Cons

Just a word of warning, a vast majority of the projects/accounts that CAPCO has are what's called "resource augmentation" where you supplement the client's workforce as opposed to pure consulting opportunities where you are brought in to solve a specific problem. The projects are still highly engaging and you learn a lot, but this was different to what I thought of consulting. HR systems (e.g. the recruiting process) can be quite disorganised with poor communication. Side effects of the rapid growth of the company. Don't get to choose your first project.

Pros

Good company for junior and recent grads as you can jump up the ranks from.Associate to Senior Consultant in 2 to 3 years if you get into the right network.

Cons

HR is useless and unreliable. The pay is currently at submarket level with them paying circa 20k less on average.Internal promotions are payed 10k less then if you come in the same roles from outside the company

Thank you for your positive feedback regarding the growth opportunities at Capco for our junior associates. We take our responsibility seriously in helping our associates build their careers and providing the support and guidance to do so. All our Partners are disproportionately focused on recognising and realising potential and rewarded for their success. More importantly, we can show success and outperformance in the sector, both in the proportion of junior staff choosing to build a rewarding career in Capco and our success in differentiating the firm through rapid promotion. As part of ensuring we are giving our associates the right rewards, we ensure our salaries are benchmarked against the market. It is clear from your comments that your experience of the hours you are working at Capco may not have been typical and we would urge you to speak with your coach and local HR contact so we can address your concerns, offer support and make improvements in your case and more generally, if necessary. We believe that feedback truly allows us to learn, grow and improve, so please share your experience with our local team.
