Pros

A full time salary which is competitive against the market.

Cons

If you like working in a dictatorship environment, surrounded by the most incompetent HR leadership in the industry then this is the place for you. There is a culture of fear and harassment, bullying, and avoidance of dealing with significant cultural issues. Good people leave, bad people get promoted if they are friends with the right 'leaders'. New joiners get encouraged to write favorable reviews on glassdoor as a cover up, vs encouraged to be part of a much needed culture change.

Capco Response

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have been disappointed about your experience at Capco. Capco has stringent policies in place in relation to bullying, and we take these matters very seriously. Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated, and our employees have a network of support channels available, including managers, coaches, leaders, HR and communities. As a firm, we have partnered with Glassdoor for a number of years, and we encourage all employees (current and former) to share their Capco story on the site. We read all reviews, evaluate the feedback (good and bad) and use this to make continuous improvements, and to make the firm an even better place to work. We would encourage you to reach out to our Global HR Director, Richard Gartside to discuss your feedback in more detail.

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Nice people - Cool office (Empire State Building)

Cons

- Low raises + bonuses (promotions are highly political/based on who you know) - Low mobility on certain projects - Difficult to get involved in planning/helping with community events (part of performance review) - Leadership positions competitive rates as our differentiator (i.e., firm competes on cost rather than on technical depth/expertise relative to peer firms)
