Pros

- Recently taken private again - Flush with opportunity to impact the direction of the firm at every level - New offices, new clients coming online - Culture that's true to their word when they say "Pitch a good idea and we'll let you run with it"; this is especially true in newer offices like Charlotte and DC - Simple yet fair comp structure; doesn't try to pay people less through smoke and mirrors complex bonus programs like at a lot of firms - Plenty of opportunity for people who want to step up to the plate and leave their mark on the firm - Quick promotion for those who are ready; no arbitrary forced time in current levels - Best benefits I've seen in the last decade, especially for families - A culture of work hard, but with a sincere concern and understanding that you have a life outside of consulting. They have unlimited sick days on top of paid time off but because of the culture I've not seen nor heard of anyone abusing this policy and it's a great one to have when you need it! - I could keep going, but you get the idea, this is a great firm with a lot of potential as a company and for anyone who works here.

Cons

- After splitting from FIS and going private, the operations are VERY lean. Not a terrible con as all of these are being worked on, but it does take time. Having to stand up new IT functions, update corporate policies, finance operations, etc. doesn't happen at the flip of a switch. Anyone who understands this will not be bothered by this

Thank you for your great review and we are delighted to hear that you are enjoying your first few months at Capco! Your review really sums up many of the great things about our firm and we are very excited to be opening new offices as you mention including Charlotte, DC and Stockholm. Your review is very helpful to give those considering joining the firm a real insight into your own experiences. As you mention, Capco is undergoing a transition period and while a lot of work has already gone into this, some of these things take time. Ultimately however, this will put the firm, and our people in a better position as we introduce policies, processes and systems which align to Capco's culture and needs. We wish you the best of luck in your Capco career!

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.
