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!

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
