Capco reviews

Unfortunately, the Cons are many. -This firm is the definition of having to kiss some rear ends to get ahead. Your merit as a value add is always overshadowed by how much the partners know/like you. This results in alot of schmoozing required to get ahead. -Long hours, not great pay. -There is an almost high-school level of bullying that exists between seniors and associates. I was mid level, but I literally watched seniors ask associates to get them coffee, or steal food from their plate. Completely immature. -HR is completely disorganized. They are quick to hire, but can't even schedule your induction correctly. -Focus is entirely on sales at the upper levels, and the responsibility of a firm to advance the career of their lower level works is lost. This results in a very exploitative relationship with new hires

-Staff Augmentation roles almost exclusively- be prepared to be put into a team as a second class citizen for two years. You time off/ work life balance is the lowest priority. You're staff aug, you work the most, put in the most hours, work weekends for less prestige and benefits. -No consideration for you or your career goals: they need a body for these roles, often clients are very frustrated as quality is hit or miss. Even with nearly full billability ( because of Staff Aug), management will placate bad clients and let staff attrition. I've seen 4-5 different consultants quite because of the same client, only lip service paid, nothing ever done. -Sells itself as a innovative consultancy but really isn't: Capco is targeting a lot of professionals who have not been in consulting before, they don't realize what a top-tier consultancy is supposed to offer. Training,being able to expense business expenses easily, change projects, get coaching are all very poorly managed. Go to another consultancy and you will realize how rewarding a career in consulting can really be.
