Pros

Some interesting people but slowly they are all leaving.

Cons

Very old school mindset and approach to projects, very different from what I was told when I joined the company. A lot of bureaucracy and politics involved in the projects and you always need to be aware because there will always be people trying to harm and undermine you. You will often find yourself in the middle of a battlefield and will never know when management will arrive to terminate your contract, especially when projects do not go as expected.

Thank you for the positive feedback on our people. Please note turnover at Capco compares very favorably with our competitors. If you feel like a particular project is becoming political and this stops you performing at your best, please raise this first with your Partner, manager, coach or HR contact. The firm wants to put people in roles where they will be motivated, engaged and perform at their best. If there is an issue we will look to resolve it. Many of the comments on this forum point to the benefits of our inclusive culture and we are keen to foster and extend this so talented people stay with the 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.
