Capco reviews

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.

1. In general, it’s a career suicide for anyone who expects management consulting role. Capco is already well known as a body shopping firm in the industry now, even the client called Capco’s people “contractor” instead of “consultant”. Project assignment in Capco means filling any available vacancy at client with whoever is available on bench at cheap cost, and the job is never strategic. Consultant's career development is the least of the firm's concern (if there’s any). Also, vast majority of consultants works for the same client means client rotation is almost impossible. 2. People management. It is just a mess. Office politics, irregular salary payment schedule, incorrect leave balances, duplicated assignment, be prepared to look after your own record. 3. Recognition. It's extremely cliquey if you are seriously looking for it. Client's satisfaction was not even taken into account for job recognition. Performance review has nothing to do with client’s feedback, and depends only on your contribution on the happy hour events and how well you can get into the clique. 4. Co-workers and Management. Great people left (or were leaving). Rarely met professional people. Only big and empty talks by management.
