Pros

Excellent work community. Excellent benefits. Work-life balance.

Cons

Capco is a client facing management consultancy so be ready to perform at all times. Senior consultant level and above can be on multiple projects over a course of a year. Smaller pay jumps for promotion than what you would get negotiating a salary at time of hire. Company needs to focus on pay retention and not pay to hire.

Capco Response
6y
One of the things that positively differentiates Capco from other firms is our focus on recognising talent and accelerating progression. For this reason we do not apply a restrictive ‘time in grade’ barrier to promotions but look to advance people once they are meeting the expectations of the next grade. To ensure promotions are fair, however, we complement our focus on progression with country, region and firm-wide roundtables and reviews that ensure there is broad parity between the general speed and number of promotion in the different grades, in the different businesses and locations across the firm. We also have a facility for anyone not comfortable with the way their performance has been assessed to raise issues or questions on a rating or promotion. It is a testament to the quality of our performance assessment and roundtable process that this is rarely necessary.

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.
