Pros

It was great company before UK Partners & good management under them quit when APAC Partner (from India) decided to come back and run the HK office. UK Partners tried to change the culture from a body shop to established consultancy but got pushed out by APAC partner, so back to way it was. If you don't mind being treated like human cattle then this is the place to work.

Cons

You will not be appreciated for your work Not run like a established business - no established HR, no useful training Workplace bullying from new management I have never written one of these before, but the bullying here has had me in tears so thought it was good to tell others how bad it is since new Partner arrived.

Capco Response

Leadership changes (and the uncertainty that accompanies them) are difficult for any business and are rarely undertaken lightly. Certainly in this case, Capco’s leadership team was faced with a pressing need for change in Hong Kong to put in place leadership that could help the business grow, become more efficient and effective, and take full advantage of the business opportunities available in a difficult market. In the short term, this has clearly resulted in a more operational focus as we look to improve performance and return to growth. We anticipate that this will also result in more secure employment and more opportunity for development/progression for our people. We remain committed to building an open and engaging culture in which everyone can maximise contribution and fulfill their potential. The new leaders have a demanding challenge ahead but they have made a promising start with your support and we are confident of further improvement. We encourage everyone to support them with your commitment, engagement and hard work so we realise our joint goal of a successful and sustainable business in which we can all share.

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.
