Review of CAPCO

Pros

Working at CAPCO has been a great experience. Having worked elsewhere in the consulting arena, I can say with confidence that CAPCO really does have a unique and great culture. The people are open and collaborative. The mindset of the company is not weighed done by the heirarchy of larger organisations. The motivations of the business and people are very much about doing the right thing for clients, and as a result the client logos and type of work really stand out.

Cons

There are no real cons to working at CAPCO. It is certainly different to the larger consulting players and thus people need to be able to embrace and enjoy that difference.

Thank you for your great review, and we're delighted to have you on-board. It's great to hear that having worked in larger consulting firms, you appreciate what Capco has to offer to employees, and value the opportunities afforded by working in a smaller consulting organization. Thanks for your contribution to the Capco team!

Pros

As a new hire, figuring out how to navigate within a new organization can sometimes be challenging. However, as a new hire my transition into Capco was probably one of the best I've every experienced at a new company. On my first day I already had the first week laid out with a proper induction plan. Sessions were scheduled in advance over the course of the week, along with contacts to meet and connections already made the minute I walked in the door. I was really impressed with how seamless and easy it was to get acclimated.

Cons

We didn't have technology until the second day, but it's difficult to call that a con as that's still a lot quicker than I've seen in a lot of other places.

Thank you for your review, and we are pleased to hear about your experience with Capco as a new joiner. Setting people up for success when they join the firm is very important to us, and a thorough induction process is an important part of this. This includes formal induction training, as well as the opportunity to network and meet others in the firm. We wish you the best of luck in your Capco career!

Don’t be fooled by the fake positive reviews

Pros

- Benefits are good (comp could be better) - Some of the people are great (others not so much) -

Cons

- Unfair and not transparent review process. The hidden secret is that the reviews don’t really follow the rubric laid out and is only based on what your coach or people above them perceive of you...basically a lot of favorites get played. There have been conversations had about attendance at after-work events in a performance review meeting...absolutely nothing to do with performance on he job - Inability to go to HR because some of the leaders in management that you want to complain about are really close to members of HR, and the word will get back to them with your name attached. Needless to say, that type of thing will be held against you - Management and many senior officials are out of touch with the people they are responsible for. They hold meetings about how everything is great and how they can’t understand where some of the negativity comes from on Glassdoor. Many of those senior employees have been directed to post positive reviews pretending to be lower level employees

Thanks for the feedback. We are pleased with the recognition for our market-leading benefits package, and the talented people we employ at Capco. However, we are generally disappointed to read your comments. We have a robust and fair performance management process in place, which we have enhanced over the past year based on employee feedback. Multiple people have input into an individual's assessment including coaches, HR and project managers. We run 6-monthly review cycles, and hold roundtables where key stakeholders from across the business assess the performance and development needs of each employee. In these sessions, relative performance is bench-marked against peers to ensure a fair review, and the output is subject to independent validation. We have recently invited employees to share additional feedback on the process, and to make further suggestions for improvement. Whilst any performance management process involves a degree of subjectivity, we genuinely seek to subject this to collective scrutiny, and eradicate any unfair practice or bias. I am pleased to say that in the last 12 months we have had no employee appeals against ratings. Your feedback suggests a personal element to the feedback and, if so, we would be very pleased to discuss the issues and investigate where necessary. The overall comments about Capco and Glassdoor are unfair. The significant improvement in our standing over the last 12 months is the direct result of many employee reviews on this forum that talk about the opportunities available at Capco as we grow the firm, and the ability to progress quickly. As a firm, we recognize that Glassdoor is an important channel for prospective candidates to learn more about Capco. To give greater insight into the firm and our values, we do encourage employees at all levels to share their stories and feedback on Glassdoor. We can reassure you that all employees and prospective employees are encouraged to post whatever they choose.
