Pros

Small company startup culture trying to compete with the Big 4. Competitive compensation, benefits, and time-off policy. Singular focus on the financial services industry.

Cons

Mostly a staff augmentation firm with PM and BA roles, lack of any meaningful training program. Partners do not know how to sell projects, extremely high turnover, and poor HR function. “Be Yourself at Work” policy is a joke, consultants need to be careful about being monitored. No diversity, partners are mostly white male (Jewish), biased promotion, hiring, staffing policies.

Thank you for your review. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed many things about working at Capco, including our market-leading compensation and benefits and culture. Capco is dedicated to the financial services industry and this sets us apart from other firms. As a result, we are able to offer our employees interesting roles across a range of premier clients. Our resourcing teams work with each employee to identify the best role based on skills, experience and career aspirations. Employees are encouraged to shape their own career path through ongoing dialogue with their coach and manager, personalized development plans, networking events and regular feedback. There is a comprehensive training curriculum in place for all employees, including core milestone schools at each level as well as leadership training programs. Our #BeYourselfAtWork ethos is an embedded part of the Capco culture, as we recognize that inclusion in the workplace is about more than having traditional diversity networks. And, through robust HR processes, we work to ensure fairness and eliminate the possibility for bias in all areas. If any employee would like to share suggestions or feedback in this regard, then they are always encouraged to reach out to their HR representative or our Global HR Director, David Heffernan.

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.
