Messy and unprofessional

Pros

You may have the ability to build connections/friendships with other employees & clients if you’re outgoing and produce solid work.

Cons

No overarching review process that is fair across the board. Underpay great resources and overpay/promote those who give up the little personal life they have to “contribute” internally or have inappropriate relationships/favoritism internally. Never saw the work/life balance they claim to promote. First firm I’ve ever worked with in years that doesn’t give guaranteed bonus and has no issue with underpaying people who do equivalent or better work (women, people of color). The HR department is one of the most dysfunctional/inappropriate I’ve seen in years apart from a few select individuals. I personally helped an intern speak with a third party and eventually decided not to file sexual harassment charges during the summer against a fellow Capco employee. The fact that their biggest concern was HR lack of confidentiality/propriety was extremely saddening and not shocking.

At Capco, there is a robust process in place to assess performance. Over this past year, we have piloted successfully a new feedback tool and program, which enables real-time feedback from Project Managers and others to be entered via an app/portal. Feedback is then reviewed by a number of independent reviewers at ‘round tables’, to ensure fairness and objectivity in assessments and ratings. In addition to performance in role, our new approach also provides for recognition for broader contribution to the firm such as recruitment, diversity and Corporate Responsibility. Feedback from staff for a more ‘holistic and transparent approach to performance has been favorable. Bonuses are not guaranteed but based upon performance. Capco has consistently paid at or above market in both base pay and bonuses. We monitor our pay practices for fairness, especially in relation to gender and ethnicity. We take eradicating any pay gap very seriously. Our HR team is comprised of committed professionals who care deeply about the wellbeing of all of those at Capco. They ensure that any complaints that may be brought to our attention are investigated fully and fairly, and that appropriate action is taken in response to any issues. Sometimes complete confidentiality may not be possible given the nature of a complaint and the need to investigate fairly, but we can give an absolute reassurance that we act properly, with sensitivity and with the utmost discretion.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that as a current employee you enjoy many of the benefits of working at Capco including the lack of hierarchy which enables open access to the senior leadership team, our market-leading compensation and working with your Capco colleagues. We are disappointed to read some of your other comments, however without understanding the specifics of your concerns it's difficult to respond fully. We would strongly encourage you to discuss your concerns and any suggestions with your coach, HR representative or a member of the leadership team so that these can be addressed. We are always open to feedback and continually looking ways to enhance the experience of working at Capco for our people.
