Pros

There are some good people there.

Cons

Unfocused, hire at the senior level without a clear vision of their strategy. Clubby environment. Unprofessional. Firm has changed strategy too many times. Was recently acquired by a Private Equity firm, but have lost too many key resources. Unless you are starting out your career or you have no other options, steer clear.

Capco Response
8y
Whilst we appreciate your comments around the fact that Capco has good people, we are disappointed by your other remarks. Capco has a unique culture, which is different to many other organizations, and certainly larger, more bureaucratic, hierarchical firms. Our working environment in some of our locations may appear less corporate, however, this does not make us less professional in any way. We remain 100% committed to serving our clients in the financial services industry, at the same time as ensuring our people have the opportunity to develop, progress and pursue their career aspirations. Capco's has recently been established as an independent enterprise, however contrary to your comments, feedback through different channels has shown us that our employees have a clearer understanding of the strategy and are excited by the opportunities ahead.

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.
