Pros

I was able to work from home most the time

Cons

Absolutely incompetent colleagues with no proper grammar or spelling Colleagues who couldn't use basic MS Office functions yet expected the world out of you Unrealistic timeline in which to do work 0 input from Capco manager On the bench for a couple months and suddenly shoved out the door one day with no warning, real reasoning, explanation or even a PIP Pay was below my experience level but I took it after agreeing on higher and turning down other opportunities only to be done over by capco Overall I'd rather be castrated before working here again

We are very disappointed to read your feedback. Our highly skilled and talented workforce benefits from ongoing learning and development opportunities and a comprehensive training curriculum covering consulting, industry, and soft skills training. Our compensation and benefits offering are competitive in the market, and we undertake benchmarking to ensure we attract and retain top talent to the firm. This has helped us grow significantly over the past year. The nature of consulting means that employees may spend a short period of time on the bench in between projects, during which our Resourcing team helps individuals to identify their next role. We foster a supportive, collaborative and inclusive work environment to ensure all employees are set up for success and have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. If an employee needs additional support, they should reach out to their Coach, Manager, or HR Business Partner.

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.
