Smart people, entrepreneurial environment (if not shot down by parent), cool offices, open debate culture (to some extent), some managers/partners are world class
Cons
Culture is gone with new management, no longer a boutique firm being part of a Global FinTech firm, lack of inspiration, motivation and true leadership
Too many ego's and selfish wannabes at exec level

Thank you for the time you have taken to submit this review.
It's important that our leavers feel they can provide honest input needed to drive positive changes, so we appreciate your feedback. We are currently in the process of redeveloping many of our management processes and orientating the company towards our new ambitions as One Capco. In particular, we’ve developed a new coaching strategy endorsed by our global leadership team which will improve the quality and consistency of coaching and mentorship globally.
If you have any additional ideas, or suggestions, in how we can best drive the One Capco initiative forward, we encourage you to reach out to the leadership team, and share your thoughts. Thank you.
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.
