Capco reviews

It was not a lucrative while I was there. Standard rate for incoming Associates is decent for an entry level role, unfortunately, the carrot dangled in front of the associates is the promotion to Consultant. Which, in my experience was still not lucrative enough for the effort and passion an invested employee puts in both at the client site and internally at Capco. As read above, was my first real promotion, and I was grateful for it, but it was not enough to keep me from listening to other offers. I said while I was at Capco, I was 75-85% satisfied at any given point in time with the company, but out of that 15-25% dissatisfaction, 90% of my dissatisfaction was financial. I felt borderline encouraged to go out to the market to find my "market value". As an employee, I didn't like taking recruiter calls, didn't like interviewing with other firms after work days, but I always felt like I should (at least 2-3 times a year). One doesn't feel loyal in that scenario, and you start focusing on things outside of work, rather than what should be your number 1 priority. Situation drained me, know my peers face the same struggle. SO...

Unfortunately, the Cons are many. -This firm is the definition of having to kiss some rear ends to get ahead. Your merit as a value add is always overshadowed by how much the partners know/like you. This results in alot of schmoozing required to get ahead. -Long hours, not great pay. -There is an almost high-school level of bullying that exists between seniors and associates. I was mid level, but I literally watched seniors ask associates to get them coffee, or steal food from their plate. Completely immature. -HR is completely disorganized. They are quick to hire, but can't even schedule your induction correctly. -Focus is entirely on sales at the upper levels, and the responsibility of a firm to advance the career of their lower level works is lost. This results in a very exploitative relationship with new hires
