Pros

Work life balance Chance to explore new industry

Cons

the year end review process is ridiculous. Your performance is not rated by your PM but on a round table and compared with someone else who doesn't even know how hard your project is. If your coach/PM is not strong enough (or has a lot of connections), you can't get a good rate. Company pays too much attention to the so-called community work. I can understand community work can somehow help to build company culture but it would be overestimated if you give it too much weight in the overall performance. Old senior leaders are leaving without official notice. New leaders seem that they're unable to get new opportunities and keep existing opportunity.

Regarding the review process, ratings take into account feedback and input from a number of stakeholders, including an individual’s manager. In a roundtable, colleagues are represented by their coach, who has a holistic view of their protégé’s performance in their role and of their contribution to Capco, which may have seen them work on multiple client projects with different managers during the year. The roundtable process helps to ensure a fair assessment by allowing space for discussion around performance and proposed ratings for all colleagues at each level. A specific percentage of the overall performance assessment is directly linked to Community, which ensures that where an individual has made a contribution, this is recognized and rewarded. However, the majority of the performance assessment is always weighted towards performance in the individual’s core role.

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.
