Pros

Lots of free food when you are in the office.

Cons

Where do I begin? In order to get promoted you need to be the most popular kid in the office. You have talent? It doesn't matter. Go to happy hours every Friday and it will guarantee that promotion you have been working so hard for. Planning something like a trivia night is not innovation. It's sad that senior management encourages this kind of behavior and it's seemingly clear who the favorites are because they get ahead the quickest. Favoritism is widely practiced here. Also, good luck getting honest feedback. The only feedback you will receive is "you need more face time with the Partners and get more involved with Capco initiatives." How do you suggest I do this when I am spending 60 hours a week at the client? Shouldn't excelling at the client be more important? Nope, because clearly getting good feedback from the client and having high billability isn't good enough.

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.
