Capco Response
2y
Thank you for your review and we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed working with your Capco colleagues and the great working environment. The nature of consulting means that employees may spend time on the ‘bench’ in between projects and this is accounted for as part of our business planning activities. Given the challenging economic climate many businesses faced last year, including Capco, this unfortunately meant that we had to make a reduction in our workforce. These decisions were only made after careful review and consideration, and once we had worked closely with those impacted along with their coaches and the business to exhaust all options for placement. We will continue to foster our special culture to ensure that Capco remains a great place to work for our people.

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.
