Pros

Capco truly had a lot going for this company before 2015. Work was good, culture was great, people were amazing. There has been a lot of change including a lot of restructuring post December 2014 that has really hit the company's culture and values that they "pride themselves on." I could name lots of pros the company had going for them but none of those exist anymore. Anywho, people who work in this company (except seniors) are truly fantastic and probably the only pro Capco currently has going for them aside from good benefits. I used to love this company and what it stood for. I am extremely disappointed in how they have "progressed" and truly makes me sad to see what used to be a great company whirlwind down the drain.

Cons

- Projects are mundane - Senior management really needs to decide what structure they would like to see the company in instead of changing it every couple of months - Corporate services employees are extremely overworked, overlooked and absolutely not compensated at all for the hard effort that they all put in - Human capital - Lots of miscommunication between different teams in Capco, things really need to be standardized - Yes, performance management is definitely all politics - Mobility is extremely scarce - Bizarre hiring and firing processes, no real job stability - Founder, CEO and probably more individuals who are higher up in the chain resigning are EXTREME red flags - Rare to find good/effective managers/coaches - Company is just falling apart in terms of structuring, people, number of projects, revenue - Bonus is nonexistent, looks like it wont change in future either - The whole company has become unhappy, wake up Capco

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.
