Culture of fear and harassment.

Pros

A full time salary which is competitive against the market.

Cons

If you like working in a dictatorship environment, surrounded by the most incompetent HR leadership in the industry then this is the place for you. There is a culture of fear and harassment, bullying, and avoidance of dealing with significant cultural issues. Good people leave, bad people get promoted if they are friends with the right 'leaders'. New joiners get encouraged to write favorable reviews on glassdoor as a cover up, vs encouraged to be part of a much needed culture change.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have been disappointed about your experience at Capco. Capco has stringent policies in place in relation to bullying, and we take these matters very seriously. Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated, and our employees have a network of support channels available, including managers, coaches, leaders, HR and communities. As a firm, we have partnered with Glassdoor for a number of years, and we encourage all employees (current and former) to share their Capco story on the site. We read all reviews, evaluate the feedback (good and bad) and use this to make continuous improvements, and to make the firm an even better place to work. We would encourage you to reach out to our Global HR Director, Richard Gartside to discuss your feedback in more detail.

Pros

Capco is a place that will give back to you what you put into it. If you are a self-motivated, entrepreneurial thinker who loves a challenging day-to-day, Capco is a fantastic place to grow your career. There are client engagements at every major bank in New York, with plenty of additional opportunity. The firm has a very young feel to it - lots of energy, creativity and committment.

Cons

Capco is light on infrastructure, intentionally lean. You may find yourself doing some things that are normally done for you at other firms. Put differently, it is a roll-up-your sleeves culture, for better or worse.

Barely Better than Unemployment

Pros

Free fruit and corporate AMEX that you don't ever have to pay. Work/life is awesome bc you don't do anything.

Cons

High turnover, body shop tactics and incompetent "management". If you're unemployed or facing unemployment soon, take an offer bc the work is a joke and you'll have plenty of time to search for better employment.

While we would like to thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are understandably very disappointed by your feedback. Our market competitive employment offering does indeed include fresh fruit and corporate credit cards, but there is so much more to us than this, particularly in key areas like career development and accelerated progression. We promote people on merit at Capco and we are very proud that good people can progress more quickly here than at our competitors. One of the main reasons people join and stay at Capco is that we pride ourselves on high levels of empowerment and real opportunities for our people to make a difference. As a newly independent company, these will only increase in the future. Our clients are all Tier 1 financial institutions and, because we help them manage the emerging trends in the sector like Brexit, Fintech and Digital, there is no shortage of challenging, interesting and rewarding work. We would very much like to address your specific concerns or give you some points for how you might meet your goals at Capco. Why don’t you reach out directly to Richard Gartside, Global HR Director or any one of our Partners, to discuss the opportunities on offer. We strongly encourage you to find an internal channel to share your views and ideas, we can give you a very strong commitment that you will be listened to, and can make a difference.
