Pros

smart people, lots of non-project contribution opportunities

Cons

more of a body shop than a consulting firm, relationship based consultancy (work isn’t won off merits, it’s won off pricing discounts and partner relationships) so they don’t get much exciting work

Capco Response
5y
Thank you for the positive feedback on our people and the opportunities that are available to contribute to the firm. We think that a performance process that takes account of the broader contribution that people make to the firm (in relation to diversity, recruitment, development or sustainability, for example) differentiates Capco from the competition. The other comments are a bit narrow. Like any consulting firm, Capco has a range of projects and opportunities but we have more than our fair share of market leading projects involving real innovation and shaping an agenda in financial services.

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.
