Pros

Some nice people worth talking too (You just have to ignore the generalist BAs / PMO knuckle draggers)

Cons

Little to no expertise at the firm, expertise left when the Wipro acquistion took place. Most senior managers who stayed are either stupid or have a massive mortgage. Everyone who is PC or above are generalist project managers, knowning very little or nothing about FS. 90% of capco partners can't sell - most were promoted when clients had crazy budgets and would sign anything over a lunch/dinner.

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.
