Capco is the worst consulting firm I've ever worked for... Don't join unless desperate. - Anonymous employee Capco Employee Review

We are very disappointed to read your review, especially as it comes from a current employee. We would like to address each of your points. Starting with our recruitment practices, we purposely involve a range of people from HR and the business in our hiring process to ensure that candidates can build up a true picture of Capco – our culture, our people and the opportunities on offer. We regularly receive very positive feedback from candidates on their recruitment experience, and on how it gives them a real sense of working in the firm. Regarding the placement of employees on assignments, we have dedicated Resourcing professionals who focus exclusively on finding suitable projects for consultants (mindful of their skills and personal development). The way we staff projects is an inclusive and interactive process, where we encourage employees to share their interests, aspirations and preferences for different types of work. Everyone has visibility of all available opportunities (including skill requirements) and people are free to apply directly for those on which they want to be deployed. While we can’t always accommodate every request, we do make it a priority to place people in roles where they are most motivated so they can be successful. As the firm is enjoying rapid growth in advance of many of our direct competitors, it means there is an ever broader range of opportunities available to our staff. Capco became an independent firm in July 2017, and since then we have been going through a transition period. This has involved establishing new IT platforms, reporting structures, policies and procedures, and in some instances, entire back-office functions. It has meant a certain amount of operational change, but, there has been a continuous focus on a smooth transition with as little disruption as possible. We have been working hard to improve our leadership communications, and continue to do so. There are regular Town Hall events, as well as other forums where employees have a clear opportunity to express their views, ask questions and put forward suggestions. Feedback from the events has shown us that our employees have a clearer understanding of the strategy and are excited by the opportunities this brings. All this said, we would very much like to address your specific concerns and discuss how you can meet your goals at Capco, and we encourage you to reach out directly to Richard Gartside, Global HR Director to discuss. We strongly encourage you to find an internal channel to share your views and ideas and we can give you a strong commitment that we will listen and respond constructively.
