Capco reviews

The work is beyond mind-numbing, even on the "good projects." This is a staff augmentation firm disguised as a consulting company. No where else in the industry is it common practice to be on a project for at least a year. Senior management lies and does not support mobility. A partner quoted the statistic that from the time a resource states they would like mobility, it will take 6 months to a year. In that time, the average employee has left the firm, and management is "shocked." Capco prays on ignorant college students who want to get into finance/consulting to join the Associate Talent Program. The 2-week training is a waste of time and does not prepare anyone for client work, which is just project management and communication.

This is your classic - it's all about who you know NOT what you know. We have immature, arrogant and ego-driven "leaders" who are not open to feedback. The criteria by which a consultant is assessed is inconsistent and vary from person to person. They speak of transparency and trust but have done nothing to instill this. They value those who will conform and not point out the inefficiencies and short-comings of "management" decisions. There is blatant favoritism and preferential treatment because of a "fixed" coaching tree. Human capital on this account is inexperienced and knows little about relationship building. Anything raised to their attention is either ignored, provided a contradicting canned response, or an exception which can not be explained unless within the "circle of trust".
