Pros

Salary, great coworkers. If you want honest sentiment about this place, go on Fishbowl.

Cons

I was on the client side for 19months doing work an intern can accomplish. No Capco is NOT staff aug at all. I've let it be known and was suggested to go check out the happenings in digital. Nothing there. I have no idea what that digital acceleration team actually does besides discussing their work out routines. Great work if you can get it. Get paid to do absolutely nothing. I came from Big 4 and they weren't without their problems, but this place is a whole different level. I wish I could say I enjoyed my time here, but I looked at my Capco time as a break from my career.

We are pleased to hear that you recognize the market-leading compensation and benefits on offer at Capco and enjoy working alongside your Capco colleagues. We have lots of great people in the firm. Many employees join Capco from a Big 4 firm, as you did, and now relish the opportunities to make a real difference in a mid-size firm enjoying rapid and sustained growth. As we grow our consulting business, we are engaged in market-leading, innovative projects across areas like Payments, Financial Crime, Insurance and Digital. If anyone is unhappy on their project to which they are allocated or with the type of work they are performing, they are encouraged to use one of the many channels available to access support (including Coach, Manager, HR or a member of the leadership team). At Capco we recognize that people can be at their best when they are fully engaged and happy at work and we aim to provide everyone with the support and opportunities necessary so they can fulfil their potential.

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.
