Pros

Good company for junior and recent grads as you can jump up the ranks from.Associate to Senior Consultant in 2 to 3 years if you get into the right network.

Cons

HR is useless and unreliable. The pay is currently at submarket level with them paying circa 20k less on average.Internal promotions are payed 10k less then if you come in the same roles from outside the company

Capco Response
4y
Thank you for your positive feedback regarding the growth opportunities at Capco for our junior associates. We take our responsibility seriously in helping our associates build their careers and providing the support and guidance to do so. All our Partners are disproportionately focused on recognising and realising potential and rewarded for their success. More importantly, we can show success and outperformance in the sector, both in the proportion of junior staff choosing to build a rewarding career in Capco and our success in differentiating the firm through rapid promotion. As part of ensuring we are giving our associates the right rewards, we ensure our salaries are benchmarked against the market. It is clear from your comments that your experience of the hours you are working at Capco may not have been typical and we would urge you to speak with your coach and local HR contact so we can address your concerns, offer support and make improvements in your case and more generally, if necessary. We believe that feedback truly allows us to learn, grow and improve, so please share your experience with our local team.

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.
