Pros

Projects and clients that are as interesting and stimulating as the Big 4 and other consulting behemoths, but with a culture/working environment that is more dynamic and encourages you to be yourself, rather than feeling like you need to fit the mould

Cons

Communication from leadership could be better and internal processes could be slicker. However, much of this can be put down to the organisation playing catch up with its rate of growth and the transition away from FIS

Capco Response

Thanks for your review! We fully agree with your summary that Capco offers the opportunity to work with top tier clients on interesting projects, and at the same time work for a firm that encourages everyone to be themselves at work. As you are aware, Capco is going through a transition period to become an independent firm. Naturally, this does mean a lot of operational change in the firm, however, much of this is now nearing completion. This puts Capco in a really strong position to define the right policies and processes that work for our business, our people and our culture. Capco UK recently held a number of 'Shape Capco' sessions where employees were encouraged to share their feedback and suggestions with the leadership team. Hopefully you took the opportunity to participate in these and have your say. If you have further suggestions, I would encourage you to speak with your HR Business Partner in the first instance, or one of the functional leads. Thanks for your continued contribution to Capco!

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.
