Pros

-Salaries: not bad - Known in the market place

Cons

- Company’s foundation (Paris office) is weak as many get promoted to middle tier management that are not qualified. This makes the company policies more driven by politics rather than true value and substance - Projects (Paris office): you get stuck in a dead end, horrible IT project - trainings: the few existing ones aren't align to job duties, very outdated - HR (Paris office): LoooooooL, nothing to do with HR. just to convey Partners ideas. Never seen that before. Horrible - Partners (paris office espec. one named ..): doesn't care about anyone but only care about his "money" - To be visible, Capco Paris deals with rush requirements, which cause manage to rethink about the requirement because it doesn't "fit" at all in the application, which cause great confusion, a lot of waste of time and money - Management: disappointed in the caliber and leadership styles of management promotions: Paris office show no gratitude, bonuses and promotions are highly political. It's all about who can kiss-up best My advice: Make a move before it is too late ! One has no control or visibility on his/her career in Capco Paris. Generally, there is no transparency in anything

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.
