Having worked in both consulting and the financial services industry, I spent about a year and a half with Capco. As consulting firms go, Capcos leadership and people are its biggest strengths. Partners care about the staff. Client opportunities are matched up with the best available resources. In office training and social activities are readily available. My favorite thing about Capco is the entrepreneurial culture - it doesn’t feel like a big 4 consulting firm. If it wasn’t for finding a great opportunity in the industry, I’d still be there today.
Cons
With so few US offices and so many remote employees, it’s critical that you take ownership of your own career at Capco. This is no t uncommon for this type of business.

- Good work-life balance
- Nice people
- Cool office (Empire State Building)
Cons
- Low raises + bonuses (promotions are highly political/based on who you know)
- Low mobility on certain projects
- Difficult to get involved in planning/helping with community events (part of performance review)
- Leadership positions competitive rates as our differentiator (i.e., firm competes on cost rather than on technical depth/expertise relative to peer firms)
