      Good Leadership but Bad Management

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Leadership Use of latest technologies for internal communications, social enabled website, Good Package for experienced employees

      Cons

      Bad Middle management There is no structure for resource management. Leadership has good intentions and initiatives but people at middle management and coaches have no desire to improve employee's work atmosphere. No respect for the employee's career path and objectives while assigning projects. Some of the middle managers were recruited based on experience in non-US countries who have no knowledge about how resource management and time management cultures of US. Confused hierarchy. Reporting Manager is different from the person who actually assigns and monitors the daily work load. On top of that, there is a Coach who has no direct understanding of the employees work or the client but plays a role in annual review.

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Ability to be staffed and put in front of senior clients regardless of experience or qualifications Willing to dramatically undersell competitors to get in the door without considering impacts to consultants on the ground or quality of delivery Leadership team with lots of experience--they're the ones that helped crash BearingPoint New Leadership from UK office not afraid to ignore, ice out, fire, or berate lazy Americans

      Cons

      Recruitment hires non-stop regardless of pipeline Poor management alienates qualified people Doesn't value people or clients Mostly a body shop with little investment in training Little respect from clients or prospective employers

      Poor Growth Opportunities for Black Employees - CAPCO Stunted my Career

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - You receive a paycheck on time. - Strong Brand in the Financial Services Industry - Most team members are knowledgeable and have better project delivery capabilities than consultants from the big 4 (coming from someone that is previously big 4) - Compensation is okayish but bonus is poor. Ask for as much as you can when first coming in otherwise you're stuck at the pay scale. Even if you're promoted your pay doesn't go up very much. - The projects vary and can be interesting and challenging. - The company isn't up or out

      Cons

      Working here undeniably stunted my Career - The company does a terrible job developing the careers of black employees (wish I would have known that day one) - The two black partners at the company got hired into leadership positions from industry and did not grow within the company. The firm has not demonstrated the ability to cultivate black talent internally. I personally know 7 black employees that left due to the poor prospects of career growth. Side Note: Those employees landed well on their feet and now are serving as Directors, Chief of Staff, Senior Managers etc., at other prestigious companies. In a way Capco served as a solid launching point to grow a career outside of the company. - Don't get me wrong black people do advance but are rarely (maybe even never) fast tracked for advancement and typically have to work with the firm longer than others to see real growth. - To be fair the firm is trying to figure out how to address this disparity and has a head of Diversity & Inclusion that is working hard to implement solutions. I personally decided to leave because I no longer wanted to have my career stunted while the firm figured things out. - It is an unfortunate reality but I feel I'd be further along in my career had I not joined Capco. Should have done better research before joining, can't blame anyone but myself. Capco isn't inherently racist, the company just has a poor framework for assessing talent. (Note: This assessment process is also being reviewed but again didn't want to wait for them to figure things out.) Non Career Advancement Concerns - The company isn't very family oriented when it comes to social activities. Pre Pandemic, we weren't allowed to invite a spouse or family to company sponsored events including Holiday parties. - The firm claims you can drive your career but the reality is that you'll roll on whatever project they have available for you. You have limited choice as to what projects you work on. This is similar to other consulting firms but at least other firms acknowledge that you don't have a choice whereas Capco claims you do.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Capco recognizes the importance of having a genuinely diverse and inclusive working environment. Over the past few years, we have made good strides in implementing programs to enhance diversity, equity and inclusion at the firm, including appointing a global DEI leader, creating a dedicated DEI Center of Excellence, setting—and exceeding—our targets for hiring more women and Black employees into the firm, supporting Affinity Groups, and establishing partnerships with DEI organizations globally. We are committed to continuing to evolve our policies to ensure that they are inclusive and fair, and that all employees, regardless of race, are given equal opportunity for career progression and development. In addition, Capco is often celebrated for its family-friendly policies and has offered events such as, ‘Take Your Child to Work Day,’ and organized parties and community events for colleagues to attend with their families. Finally, we strongly encourage all employees to shape their own career path at Capco with the support of their coach, manager and wider network. Employees can work across different domains and capabilities or specialize in a certain area. At times, an employee may be placed in a project role which does not directly align with their career aspirations due to business need. However, managers and coaches are on hand to ensure employees learn and develop in all roles. Our dedicated Resourcing teams are committed to aligning an individual’s skillset and career aspirations with a role when possible.
