Pros

- Great coworkers in the lower ranks - Easy to get a job here - Good benefits (but beware, the benefits that look too generous are probably intended to force people to stay because they are too expensive to pay back)

Cons

- People in the higher ranks are manipulative and either delusional or deceptive; this becomes increasingly clear the more time you spend here, but it does not necessarily become more clear who is malicious and who actually somehow believes what they're saying. - The HC/HR department is shockingly unprofessional and untrustworthy, doing everything from discussing personal candidate/employee information in the middle of the office to publicly undermining leaders of other departments (and so much more). - Sexism, sexual harassment, and other cultural problems run rampant and are ignored or barely acknowledged by managers and HC/HR even when it occurs in front of them or is reported to them. - The company uses bizarre hiring and firing practices that have little relation to skills needed on projects, employee performance, ability to manage new hires, keeping up employee morale, or common sense. And there's so much more that could be said, but there's not really any point, because the company as we know it is currently falling apart. The new regime change promises to wipe out much of the top ranks, and who knows how many people at the lower ranks will become collateral damage. And sadly, being engulfed by parent company FIS does not sound like much of an improvement over the current situation even for those who survive the culling.

Pros

Good pay and bonuses if you can stomach to stay. The Americans on staff are generally treated well, but you can sense an overall apathy toward them by the majority of the non-North Americans (except for NY support staff who are treated very well.) The new grad program is great because it always provides a steady supply of fresh bodies coming in. I marked the 6-month outlook as positive because they'll do whatever they need to in order to meet their goals.

Cons

Benefits are below average. Don't believe anything the recruiter says that's not in writing. If you don't know the meaning of, "thrown under the bus", you will. I've never seen a culture with such an overall lack of integrity and honor in the upper ranks. A very small number of clients means you won't get much of a change of scenery nor a variety of opportunities. Very cliquish as many have said and if you don't suck up you'll get overlooked. Trust no one.

Pros

Capco has been an amazing place to work for the past few years. There are a handful of good people left but most are long gone and many more will leave within the year. Offices are nice, IT team is great, and the company was widely respected. However, that respect will certainly wear off given new leaderships attitude and general lack of market understanding. Employee satisfaction went from 100 - 0 since the new leaders took over. Attrition rates are through the roof. Recruitment has stalled.

Cons

New Global CEO has completely lost touch with what made capco great. He is hoping he can milk the changesourcing cow for a few more years before competitors blow the capco model out of the water. Speaks with a lot of consultant jargon while typically saying absolutely nothing. If you want your career to be in loan staffing this is the place for you (aka go work with a bunch of uninspired suits who hate their lives and work long hours doing boring jobs in the back office of banks for below average pay). Human Capital has no insight into how to develop or rate employees. If you join Capco - you will leave or want to leave within 3 months. The culture pitch is all rhetoric there is nothing innovative, entrepreneurial, or cutting edge about capco. Their AI practice is an associate forwarding links to AI articles. I think they got rid of their digital practice (but who knows there is no communication). They have a 3d printer and a drone that sit in a closet until recruits come to the office. You will do work that requires no brainpower, just monotonous mindless activity. People come, they realize it was all rhetoric and they leave, and the cycle continues. Uninspiring, depressing, and ultimately a soon to be dissolved entity.
