Pros

In September Capco successfully concluded a four-year payment transformation journey with a large Swiss bank, which is now the first major bank that migrated to the new ISO20022 standard on SIC4 platform. The new platform is fully supporting the new TIM/TOM and is designed to process a throughput of up to 2,500 transactions per second at an STP rate of >99.9%. The five-year (four-year Capco support), 200,000+ person days legacy transformation comprised a delivery team of 300+ people (out of which 200 externals under Capco management) in eight locations, delivering eight major releases and 20+ additional deployments, roughly one million lines of code with up to 15 test environments in parallel. All of this would not have been possible without the indescribable dedication, commitment and passion of the team on the ground.

Cons

- Challenging tasks - Long working hours

Thank you for your review and we are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed your 3+ years at Capco! Your passion and enthusiasm for the work that we do as a firm shines through. It's also great to hear you talk about the team, since collaboration and teamwork is such a fundamental part of the Capco culture. As you say, a career in consulting can mean working long hours at times and challenging work assignments, however, it is also incredibly rewarding in lots of ways too. Thanks for your continued contribution to Capco!

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.
