Pros

Company phone and generous annual leave.

Cons

No members of the APAC management team have local market ties; they are all from outside the region. Leadership intends to evolve the firm from a staffing agency for HSBC into a true consulting firm. The banking and wealth management endeavor was a complete failure. It continues to be an HSBC body shop after 3 years. An insurance partner was hired to aid their expansion into the insurance industry. This individual was supposed to be well-connected with Hong Kong’s main insurance companies. A year on and still without any significant wins in the insurance domain. Advancement and assignments depend entirely on connections and mentorship, not merit. Some people, despite being on bench for over a year, still received promotions. Wipro’s 2023 annual report shows APAC had approximately a US$15 million loss. Wipro needs a new APAC management team.

Capco Response

We are disappointed to read your perspective of Capco. Our leadership team has deep industry and consulting expertise and is committed to delivering the best service to our clients, as well as diversifying our client portfolio. Colleagues can read about our recent wins at several clients in the December leadership newsletter, and we also provide regular updates in our quarterly Town Halls. On the recent Wipro All Hands call, Capco APAC and Middle East was also given a special mention in recognition of the achievements and potential in the region. Contrary to your comments, we have a robust performance assessment process which considers individual performance and feedback from different stakeholders. Individual performance is also discussed within a roundtable setting to ensure that everyone receives a fair assessment. If any employee would like additional support with career development at Capco, there are lots of resources available on CapcoHub or alternatively, they can reach out to their Coach or HR Business Partner to discuss.

Pros

Capco has a friendly culture where people like to win together. A solid meritocracy that is expertise focused, and growth oriented with approachable leaders and plenty of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Employees should be self-motivated (which for me is a plus), but being a smaller company it does lack clear and standard documentation routines. There is no one-size fits all career map, which allows self-starters to succeed and rise quickly in the organization.
