Pros

They have an organized knowledge center, templates, and deliverables. Common personnel are experienced delivery consultants from wealth and other consulting firms. Projects expectations vary but a majority are largely centered around general PM BA delivery.

Cons

They ramp up and wind down risky projects quickly so they offer significant increases to join but have had multiple recent challenges with firm wide non-performance based layoffs, poor performance from misaligned individuals, and lack of direction after several changes in leadership and ownership

Pros

Free fruit. That's All. There really are no positives to working at this shop. It is a sad place to work. Its closer to a staffing agency than a company.

Cons

This is not consulting & those who realize that leave very quickly. They treat you as a body & staff you where there is an opening at a bank. They false-advertise & do not tell the truth in interviews at all. Rampant Ex-Accenture people running this place. Its all staff augmentation, body-shopping, change sourcing, which is far from consulting. Other negative reviews are on point. All shopping bodies. Quality of projects is not good & the work you do is below intern level.

Capco Response

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate hearing from our employees and continually look for ways to enhance the Capco experience for all of our people. One of the great advantages of a career in consulting is the ability to work on different client projects and obtain broad exposure. While we recognise at times that every role may not be an exact match for longer-term career interests, we always aim to work closely with our employees and their coaches to ensure that we are providing challenging and rewarding opportunities. Something which is a fundamental part of our resourcing model and our culture. Our leadership team also place a strong focus on this, regularly reviewing the pipeline of work to ensure that it aligns with the needs and aspirations of our people. From a recruitment stand-point, all individuals involved in the recruitment process undergo training to ensure that we are communicating the right messages at all time. As a firm, it serves no interest to bring employees on-board under false pretences and we strive to ensure that what we communicate throughout the hiring process translates into the day to day experience of a Capco consultant. We strive to provide a working environment where employees feel supported, as well as an inclusive environment where people can succeed regardless of their background or experience. Our #BeYourselfAtWork movement is one example of our work in this area. We’re sorry to hear about your experience - we are committed to providing world-class opportunities for our people and would be happy to speak with you about your experiences at Capco.

Pros

Great culture. Fun, smart people. Great work life balance. Some interesting strategy projects. Growth potential. Culture where junior employees can speak to senior partners openly. Ideas are listened too from all levels.

Cons

Poor base salary. Bonuses paid out in thirds over the year to make you stay through the entire year. Some projects are horrible (change sourcing, staff aug, implementation, testing) promotions only happen because of tenure. Meritocracy is talked up but not practiced.
