Pros

Decent pay. Vacations and holidays are typical in the market. Lots of available training.

Cons

The drive and excitement of working at Capco all but disappeared when previous CEO and president left. Current atmosphere is one of burn out or polish your nose to get ahead otherwise doing your work well for the client at 50+ hours/week isn't going to do anything for you. Huge air of distrust at all levels of management.

Pros

It is a gap filer on resume. Exposure to client, which could mean you could get hired into a real company for real pay and decent vacation. They offer benefits and vacation days, but far below the average. It is a place to work while you wait for the economy to pick up.

Cons

Management is immature. Too many meetings about meetings and status reports about meetings. No trust of employees. Rude and sexist male employees in senior management levels (they insult each others size at the town hall and public meetings). Professional staff (with decades of work experience) are treated like entry level college graduates. One day after Engagement survey closes... the company announced no bonus for 2016! On many occasions I have heard the client complain (multiple projects) about the quality of the junior level resources. None of the password systems talk to each other. Nearly every email about password reset has significant errors.

Pros

- Opprotunities to stay local if you live in NYC or DC - The work is tremendously easy and straightforawrd - Most projects are 9-5

Cons

- The majoirty of work, espeically changesourcing, is pure staff augmentation and not consulting work. This would be fine if you are interested in back office operations work, but the firm will lie in interviews about how theres great digital and startegy work - don't trust it. - Bonuses and compensation are horrendous. - Partners tell employees to write positive reviews on Glassdoor. Speaking of which, if you look at the review trends, there is a sudden spike from around 2 stars to 3 in 2014. This is highly suspicious. - Although most projects are easy 9-5 PMO secretary work, I've seen people with incompetent managers and therefore are stuck working 13+hours a day fixing others mistakes. - With changesorucing, Capco onboarded all the underpreformers from major banks as Capco employees. In return, Capco gains a long term contract with the bank and re-sells these employees to work on the same projects. The issue here is that now these incompetent underpreformers will be your colleagues and dillute what remains of the Capco brand.
