Capco has very good principles on paper, BE yourself at work and flat organization and people are nice and friendly
Cons
This is not a consulting company, work on a client site by yourself with no team, and are expected to do 3 or more people roles, you have no oversight from anyone. It is like working as a contractor under the Capco banner

Thank you for your feedback although we are disappointed to read about your experience at Capco. The principles you reference are embedded throughout the firm, including our Be Yourself at Work ethos where we encourage employees to bring their authentic selves to work and empower individuals at all levels of the organization. As with any consulting organization, our projects vary in nature and this is reflected in the size of the project and account teams. There is a variety of support available to all individuals both on and off their project including the account leadership team, coach and HR Business Partner. We would encourage any employee who feels they need additional support to reach out.
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.
