Pros
Great people and an easy going work environment.
Cons
If they can staff you on a project they will, there is little to no concern about the employee's interest, goals, or skills. Project leadership needs improvement.
Capco Response

We’re pleased to hear that you enjoy working at Capco, including alongside your colleagues. We are concerned by your comments around the staffing of projects as we always try to align people to roles based on their skill set, experience and career aspirations. While this is not possible every time based on business needs and client demand, if any employee would like to discuss a project/role move they are encouraged to speak with their local Resourcing team, project manager or a member of the leadership team and we will always try to make this happen.
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.
