Pros
Intense engagements at relatively senior level within financial services companies present great networking opportunities. Among Capco employees there is an impressive percentage of very experienced specialists from within FS industry and there are numerous opportunities to learn from others on assignments. Great opportunities within organization for those with sales abilities. Company is experiencing rapid growth at the moment and has not yet adopted all the bureaucracy of larger consulting companies and is very competitive.
Cons
Deceiving compensation package - although base salary is slightly above average, the total package is not competitive for the delivery side of the organization; bonuses' structure (verging on being hostile to delivery employees) and amounts motivate to under perform. Client project placements for employees are remotely related to their competence areas. Lack of noticeable long term investments into the company or employees create an impression that investors/partners keep their suitcases packed and ready to sell / re-sell company any second. Currently Capco is not a place to plan your long term career at.
