Thank you for your review and we're delighted to hear your enthusiasm for Capco after 5+ years with the firm! In particular, your comments on the culture and your Capco colleagues resonate with many other reviews on this forum. Regarding your comment on IT, as you will know Capco has been going through a transition period as we become independent. This has put a lot of pressure on our internal functions at times, however please be assured that the team are focused on how they can offer a high level of service to employees as they complete the transition. They have already introduced a new 24/7 IT service helpdesk to support this. Thanks for your continued contribution to the firm!

Pros

The atmosphere is vibrant and, dare I say, fun. Yes we work hard too but each day is colourful.

Cons

Expanding rapidly so change is the order of the day; of course this could be a pro too, in time.

Thanks for your review! We would agree that Capco has a work hard, play hard ethos. We are a professional services firm committed to delivering outstanding, high quality work to our clients and shaping the future of financial services. However, a part of that, driven through our #BeYourselfAtWork movement, is about empowering our people to truly be themselves at work. We recognise that by creating an environment where people can be their authentic self, our employees will be happier and more engaged. The firm also actively fosters a collaborative environment in a number of ways including events, our social networking platform and coaching families. Thanks for your continued contribution to the Capco team!

Truly Dreadful

Pros

Good for a first job (but truly horrendous for experienced hires)

Cons

Plenty 1) Incompetent and selfish managers who bully and have almost nothing to offer 2) Clients who have a problem project but don't know how to fix it so they call in the cheapest agency. 3) Very low standards throughout the company, large complex projects are simply not possible despite all the big words, restricted to BAU problem projects.

Thank you for your feedback, however, we are very disappointed to read your review. We are also surprised by your comments, given many of the other reviews on here which talk about the many opportunities at Capco both for career progression, and to work on interesting projects with prestigious clients. With regards to your comments on managers, all employees are invited to participate in core training schools relevant for their grades. As employees progress through the firm, these sessions focus increasingly on people development, coaching and leadership. In addition to softer skills, our managers offers lots in terms of their depth of consulting knowledge and expertise in the financial services sector. You also reference bullying - we have stringent policies in place in relation to bullying and we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at Capco can be themselves at work. If anyone feels they are in a position where they are being bullied, they are strongly encouraged to speak with their HR Business Partner, Coach or to reach out to our HR Lead, Amy Clark. There is always lots of support available, and bullying in any form will not be tolerated. In relation to Capco’s projects, we work with a long list of tier 1 clients. Many of these relationships extend over many years, and across multiple geographies. Capco focuses on complex change programs, and regularly wins work against some of the larger consulting firms in the market. Given your tenure at the firm, it is difficult to believe that you did not enjoy some of your time with Capco. We would encourage any current employees who have specific concerns to raise, or suggestions for improvements, to do so through one of the many channels available at Capco.
