Capco Response
2y
We are disappointed to read your feedback. Like many consulting firms, Capco has faced some challenges in the current economic climate which has impacted the demand for consulting services. As a result, some colleagues have been offered voluntary, short-term sabbaticals and voluntary redundancy. Wherever possible, we have made alternative arrangements, including adapting our hiring activities to prioritize the resourcing of employees. Where this has not been possible, any redundancies have been managed sensitively and individuals offered the relevant support. Leaders have also been as transparent as possible with colleagues in the business, while being mindful of those impacted by these decisions. Please be assured that our leadership team is seasoned at leading businesses through such periods of change and is focused on successfully navigating the current environment.

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.
