Truly Dreadful

Pros

Good for a first job (but truly horrendous for experienced hires)

Cons

Plenty 1) Incompetent and selfish managers who bully and have almost nothing to offer 2) Clients who have a problem project but don't know how to fix it so they call in the cheapest agency. 3) Very low standards throughout the company, large complex projects are simply not possible despite all the big words, restricted to BAU problem projects.

Thank you for your feedback, however, we are very disappointed to read your review. We are also surprised by your comments, given many of the other reviews on here which talk about the many opportunities at Capco both for career progression, and to work on interesting projects with prestigious clients. With regards to your comments on managers, all employees are invited to participate in core training schools relevant for their grades. As employees progress through the firm, these sessions focus increasingly on people development, coaching and leadership. In addition to softer skills, our managers offers lots in terms of their depth of consulting knowledge and expertise in the financial services sector. You also reference bullying - we have stringent policies in place in relation to bullying and we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at Capco can be themselves at work. If anyone feels they are in a position where they are being bullied, they are strongly encouraged to speak with their HR Business Partner, Coach or to reach out to our HR Lead, Amy Clark. There is always lots of support available, and bullying in any form will not be tolerated. In relation to Capco’s projects, we work with a long list of tier 1 clients. Many of these relationships extend over many years, and across multiple geographies. Capco focuses on complex change programs, and regularly wins work against some of the larger consulting firms in the market. Given your tenure at the firm, it is difficult to believe that you did not enjoy some of your time with Capco. We would encourage any current employees who have specific concerns to raise, or suggestions for improvements, to do so through one of the many channels available at Capco.

Pros

Things have definitely gotten a lot better at Capco over the past year. The head of the office is a great guy who genuine supports peoples' career progression not only in terms of the work we do for our clients but also personally in terms of training, socials, networking etc. Overall there is a lot of opportunity to learn and progress through the company. The performance management and promotion procedures are very meritocratic as everything is heavily scrutinized by a wide range of people. I personally know of good performers who have deservingly moved through the ranks fairly quickly so I'm pleased to see good work recognized. People are also really nice to work with. There is overall a good office atmosphere.

Cons

There is a very aggressive growth plan for the company and there are worries that Capco will lose the people focus.

Thanks for your review and we are delighted to hear that you enjoy working at Capco. In particular it's great to hear your feedback on the performance management and promotion processes. These are very robust processes, and a lot of time and energy is invested by those involved to ensure that all employees receive regular developmental feedback and opportunities to progress in their career. It's unclear from your post which office you are based in, however, we are pleased to hear that you feel there have been significant improvements and that you enjoy the work environment and myriad of opportunities on offer. Capco is continuing to focus on its ambitious growth plans, however, the leadership team is committed to retaining it's focus on our people. This is something which was reiterated at a recent employee event in London by both our CEO and UK Managing Partner. Thanks for your continued contribution to the Capco team!
