Pros

I have been with Capco for 6 years. Great culture, approachable management, feels more like a start-up culture than a staid corporation. Does quality work with most major banks, ranging from Strategy and Digital to standard consulting engagements. Good career opportunities, growing firm every year and a meritocratic environment.

Cons

Consulting is a challenging business and how interesting an engagement is depends mostly on the client. You don't always have control over what projects you get staffed on. But this is true for all consulting firms and Capco does a decent job of allowing people to have a say in what clients and projects they work with.

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.
