Pros

I only meant to stay at Capco for two years to learn the skills I wanted to and move on, but there have been so many personal development and learning opportunities that I have now been here over 6 years! I'm someone that gets bored easily and there has always been a new initiative to work on to improve our function. I am an ideas person and I love the fact that I've been able to make a positive impact here and really see my ideas manifest. I've never had the opportunity to do that anywhere else nor stayed anywhere longer than 18 months. Whilst I have been at Capco I have made some life-long friends and been through all my major life events- buying a house, getting married, and becoming a parent. I have returned from maternity leave twice during my time at Capco and I have always been supported by the business to ease my settle back into work. I'm amazed at the growth Capco has seen in recent years and they go from strength to strength. When I first started in 2011 there were less than 200 UK employees and now there are over 800 and I have been a part of most of the new joiners on-boarding journey. It's great to form a relationship with someone on day 1 and see their career flourish. I know that Capco are going to keep challenging the financial services market and the status quo.

Cons

This is a fast passed industry and place to work- but that's something that I thrive on. I don't want to be twiddling my thumbs!

Growing company, a little top and bottom heavy. Need to hire more more smart, talented mid-level people

Pros

As the title suggests, I’m a recent joiner of Capco and given I read several reviews on this site before applying, thought only right I leave a review of my experience. Before joining Capco, I was a long term permanent member of staff at one of the major banks. While this was enjoyable, I knew I needed a fresh challenge and right from the Job Advertisement, Capco seemed to be what I was looking for. After years in a ‘traditional’ bank, the most important thing for me was the culture and during a couple of visits to the Edinburgh office and meeting a few employees (doing the interviews), I could tell even then I liked the atmosphere, environment and general ‘feel’ of the place. So, having been in Financial Services for over 15 years I can say that Capco is clearly somewhere a bit more dynamic, where the work will be challenging and varied, where there is a culture of opportunity and learning and more importantly, everyone is supportive and everyone’s voice is heard equally …and coming from a traditional big bank, I’m amazed already at the access to Snr. Management and their willingness to engage.

Cons

This is more of a concern really, but hope that the culture and ‘feel’ of Capco that attracted me isn’t eroded when: a) I find myself on a client site (and start to go native) and b) Capco continues to recruit to meet growth strategy
