Pros

I have been at this firm for almost nine years, and I can say that I learned more working with colleagues and various clients than all my years of education. Capco is a fantastic firm with wonderful people. I think a lot of the time, people look at reviews to find something negative, and unfortunately, you won't find that here but will find an honest review. The one thing I can say about Capco is that the employees make Capco what it is. It's truly a place with an entrepreneurial spirit, and if you are looking for a job that is just going to hand you a promotion, then this is not the place for you. You get what you put into it like anything else in life. If you found yourself in the past making excuses for why you did not succeed, then I can guarantee you will find yourself wasting away your energy again complaining on applications like fishbowl. If you are hard-working and passionate about learning, then you will achieve great success at Capco.

Cons

No need to make something up just for the sake of filling out a review. Just make sure you know what consulting is before joining a consulting firm.

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.
