Most honest no BS review you will read - Senior Consultant Capco Employee Review

We are very disappointed to read your review and would like to address some of the points raised. It is correct to say that we have hired a large number of new colleagues this year as Capco continues to grow, however this has not limited career opportunities and we continue to run two review and promotion cycles per year. In fact, in the last promotion cycle, we promoted the largest number of employees in the UK to date. There are a number of different discussions and factors, which all feed into the final decision on promotions, but ultimately ensuring we promote the right people with demonstrated performance at the next level is the priority. Regarding your comments on vacation leave, UK employees are able to buy and sell holiday and we offer enhanced parental leave policies. We regularly benchmark all our benefits in the market to ensure that what we offer is competitive and meets the needs of our people. There are lots of opportunities to hear from the global and local leadership teams, whether through Town Hall events or domain/community events. This year we held 22 Open Days across the UK to give employees an opportunity to hear what is happening across our different domains, capabilities and Affinity groups and to connect in person with leaders and colleagues. These were extremely well attended and we have received very positive feedback. These were introduced post the pandemic and due to their popularity, have become a regular fixture on the calendar. The nature of consulting means that sometimes employees may spend time on the bench in between projects based on client demand. We have a dedicated Resourcing team who manage project assignments and employees on the bench assist with business-related tasks based on current business needs. Coaching is a key part of the Capco culture and support structure. All new Coaches are required to complete training as you state and if someone would like to change Coach or take on more Protege's they should raise this with their HR Business Partner who will be happy to help. If you are still with the firm, then we would strongly encourage you to reach out to our UK HR Lead, Amy Clark or your HR Business Partner for a discussion.
