Pros

Capco offers industry leading compensation, benefits and an exciting environment of growth and change. If you're a good performer, you will be staffed on great projects and have the opportunity to advance within the company based on your capabilities. Capco is now and independent firm which will support our competitiveness in the marketplace and place a renewed focus on our core professional services business. Since I've been at the firm, I have found the performance review process to be fair. It has been a great place for me meet and work with some terrific people. At Capco, you can truly specialize in whichever competencies you wish.

Cons

Since I have been with the firm, there has been quite a bit of change, but that's part of the game when you join a growing firm. As with all consulting firms, the management structure can be a bit decentralized which may take some adjustment for people who are new to the industry.

Pros

Capco is an agile and nimble firm that allows individuals to find their own career path while still providing a support structure to enable that growth. I have been at Capco for almost 8 years and in that time have seen a lot of change, all of it positive. I've worked at larger "big 4" firms and would not disparage them, I just find that for myself I truly enjoy the flat structure, the merit based recognition. I find the organization easy to navigate and the access to senior management is unlike what I had experienced at other firms. I really think Capco is a great place to work and grow your skill set in the not just Financial Services but in the Technology that supports it as well. As someone who came in at a more junior level and has been able to take ownership of internal parts of the organization and help shape and grow our offerings and client relationships I really do see the value of the firm and encourage others to see it too.

Cons

The firm doesn't have quite the scale or name recognition (yet) of bigger firms so have to explain the value of Capco initially when talking to clients but once they understand who we are that becomes much less of an issue. I've seen other reviews about how "unfair" or "random" the review processes are, and I'd have to say I've never seen a "perfect" performance management system at any of the firms I've worked at nor at our clients, I think the management truly cares and fights for our people but it does require individuals to own their own career, for people who just want to punch the clock and "9 to 5" it - they're not going to see the same growth as someone who puts in the extra time and effort it takes to get ahead - and that's no different at Capco than anywhere else in my opinion.

Pros

The atmosphere is vibrant and, dare I say, fun. Yes we work hard too but each day is colourful.

Cons

Expanding rapidly so change is the order of the day; of course this could be a pro too, in time.

Thanks for your review! We would agree that Capco has a work hard, play hard ethos. We are a professional services firm committed to delivering outstanding, high quality work to our clients and shaping the future of financial services. However, a part of that, driven through our #BeYourselfAtWork movement, is about empowering our people to truly be themselves at work. We recognise that by creating an environment where people can be their authentic self, our employees will be happier and more engaged. The firm also actively fosters a collaborative environment in a number of ways including events, our social networking platform and coaching families. Thanks for your continued contribution to the Capco team!
