Pros

Opportunity to meet lots of people and build your network within the FS industry Build skillset and confidence with the exposure to different projects Good place to get started if interested in working in financial services.

Cons

Performance roundtable are seriously flawed and no one cares. You truly have to know the 'right' people or at least have those with the loudest voice in the room, advocating for you. Very slow to progress the agenda for supporting minority groups into leadership positions. The response is that it should be based on 'merit' which I agree with but with a flawed performance roundtable how do you achieve that. So much talent has walked out those offices for this very reason

Thank you for your feedback and positive comments. Our roundtables provide a forum for the fair assessment of all employees, and these are moderated by experienced HR and business leaders to ensure that everyone receives a rating based on their performance using the competency framework and with input from multiple stakeholders. We have also set out aspirational hiring and progression targets to further advance diverse representation at the firm which can be viewed here. We are proud to say that we are on track to meet, or in some instances, to surpass these targets for diversity in regards to our workforce composition and senior leadership. We have five global Affinity Groups which are employee-led, firm-supported teams focused on employee engagement, and promoting awareness and inclusion around gender, race, ethnicity, disability, neurodiversity, veterans, parents or other shared backgrounds. The Groups create an environment for people to connect, engage, educate, inspire, and celebrate each other. They also work within the firm to help recruit, mentor, and support the progression of diverse talent. Any Capco employee can be a member of any Affinity Group. Our goal is for everyone, regardless of background or characteristics, to feel empowered and supported so they can be their authentic selves and achieve their full potential.

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.
