Pros

Decent salary. Very inclusive culture. A lot of fun people.

Cons

Bad transparency. Not as much of a meritocracy as they claim. More political. Junior employees are expected to contribute to internal company but only in HR capacity.

Capco Response

Thank you for your positive comments on our pay, culture and people. We believe that Capco provides a differentiated experience for our employees in each of these areas. With regard to your comments about transparency and our promotion of a meritocracy, we host regular communication sessions with senior leaders and encourage all of our leaders to be accessible, open and transparent. We also ensure that all performance and promotion decisions are discussed and agreed with a range of stakeholders at roundtables and with an opportunity for individuals to raise any concerns about the process (that is rarely used). We do expect people to contribute to the firm outside the strict confines of their day jobs. It gives people the chance to develop a broader range of skills including some people leadership capabilities, recruitment and training skills that may help accelerate progression. That said, if you do have specific examples of where you feel we could improve in any area, please reach out to Mary Keller, our HR Leader in the States. She will happily look into your concerns.

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.
