Pros

If you need a work where you can pass all your day on long morning breakfast & lazy afternoon lunch this would be a apple on a pie for you ,

Cons

1. long term HR guys who stays there for a century builds a cobweb of politics against the new incumbent, 2. people make groups within a small meagre team of 4 to 5 people 3. If you want to work individually others will badmouth about you to your subordinates 4. The entire company is running on 2 projects to be precise & people snatch jobs from each other like a musical chair 5. Senior management is worst & dont know about change management or any other best practices 6. If you dont lick them they can fire you in a very political way at anytime. Think thrice before you join this trash can

Capco Response
5y
This is clearly a review that is driven by some frustration and the comments are at odds with the generally favorable feedback that we receive on this forum. We have a strong and forward-thinking HR function at Capco, supported by our leadership team, and with a clear commitment to complying with relevant standards in all locations. As a firm, we encourage effective teaming, but where employees prefer to work more individually, we will look to structure projects and deliverables in a way that plays to individual strengths, recognising that we also need to pool talents and capabilities to develop the best solutions for our clients. The firm has a large number of projects with a wide range of clients across the financial services sector, and this continues to grow and expand, spearheaded by our senior leaders who have a wealth of experience, including change management. If the firm is required to manage any terminations, we will always do so in a way that is respectful of the people involved, compliant with relevant standards and legislation, reflective of good HR management and practice, and with an opportunity for an individual affected to appeal if they believe there is any unfairness. Capco applies all the standards that people would expect in a global employer of choice, and we have a variety of mechanisms in place for people to raise and discuss any issues, so these can be properly investigated and managed.

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.
