Pros

You get paid on time. Get to know banking AML. You will be working every minute during office hour. Nice.

Cons

Factory-like brainless work. Impossible to get promotion coz there are 100 guys doing the same job as you do. Unlimited OT

Capco Response
8y
While we are disappointed by your review, we would like to thank you for your feedback. Capco operates as a true meritocracy – people are reviewed for promotion every 6 months, and can be promoted quickly based on their talent and ability. We have a robust performance management process alongside a coaching network to ensure that each individual is fairly represented in a roundtable process and consideration is given to individual achievements. The process also enables us to benchmark individuals against their peers to ensure a fair assessment. Regarding work life balance, while consulting is not a 9-5 job in any professional services organization, we do actively promote this. If employees are asked to work longer hours or overtime, the project managers work with their team members to ensure they are supported to manage a balanced workload. Based on your comments, we are sorry to hear that you did not experience this. We do encourage all employees to raise any specific issues or concerns as they arise through one of the many support channels we have in place including HR, Coaches, Managers and Partners. Employees can also reach out to our Global HR Director, Richard Gartside directly with any suggestions for improvements.

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.
