- I’ve been working at Capco for more than 5 years at different top tier clients of the financial services industry
- Capco is a great place to build your own career - there are no limits to innovation and proactive development of new topics and market offerings. All partners have an open-door policy and will carefully listen to the ideas of every employee
- Especially the 1.5 years in New York City I experienced with Capco’s GROW program provided me with great insights. Capco supported the entire process from start to end (including the visa process, temporary housing, tax advice etc.)
Cons
- As in every Consulting company you will have different managers with different backgrounds/management styles
- If you rely on specified processes, micro management and hand-holding, Capco will not be the right place for you

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.
