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

I agree with many comments in other reviews; if you go in with the expectation you will be consulting on the cutting edge of finance, you will be disappointed. If you accept that you will be thrown into random projects with little input and consideration of skills, you will still probably be disappointed but hopefully you can adapt. Actually, I am satisfied with the projects that I have been assigned to. The first project was with a great client and project team, so I think I was particularly lucky in that respect. I am not sure if this is a typical experience in this company.

Cons

Management seems to constantly changing directions and is inconsistent in messaging to employees. Be prepared to have to deal with some kind of new pet initiative that is talked about for 2 months and then suddenly dropped. Messaging can also be fuzzy, i.e. "great results last year" but disappointing bonus / compensation for most employees (even those who were promoted). I have worked at Capco for awhile and have seen many former employees move on to other opportunities; the part that scares me are all of the people that leave after 3-6 months on the job and then the bootlickers that remain behind and always seem to get ahead. Be prepared to be let down when hard work and efforts aren't recognized or appreciated.

CAPCO . . .

Pros

Very ambitious HR that posts overzealous reviews. See any of the 5 star reviews and you will see a picture painted by Van Gogh, only to realize you've been looking at a fake.

Cons

A glorified staffing agency for back-office work. If considering a job offer, I highly suggest looking elsewhere and this is sincere advice.
