Pros
There's a lot to like about Capco: - Great people, and extremely talented at lower levels - Quality of the work we deliver is measurably better than others in the same Tier - Flat organization without the weight of unnecessary bureaucracy; ability to reach out to anyone at any time - "Don't need to ask for permission, rarely need to ask for foregiveness" flexibility to build what you want, especially when you're young - Compensation is commensurate with required experience, responsibilities Working at Capco has been great for me and my career; I've grown a lot, I work with people who value and care about me, and I don't
Cons
As Capco has grown, its pants have gotten too tight: - A federated model means informal networks abound; we struggle to leverage our scale and experience correctly. You can't even find an org chart or a single-page identification of our capabilities - Training budgets are next to nothing, and getting approval for external trainings and certifications is near-impossible (despite advertisements to the contrary) - Critical internal operational capabilities (L&D, IT, communications, knowledge / collateral management, dedicated sales support) are either woefully underfunded or missing altogether - Diverse hiring has been great; diverse promotions have not - CEO is MIA in both communication and organizational leadership / change So while my experience has been positive, it's disheartening to see the organization know it can do better but often do little about it. The tools and support I need to take the next step in my career just don't exist.
