Pros

Good opportunity to network within many different organizations that you're placed at; if you want to be exposed to many financial institutions, especially if you're junior, this is good for you

Cons

Not strictly consulting, sometimes you're a butt in a seat Lots of pressure to get involved in internal events but feels very cliquey Consultant role is very broad, and you can feel stuck in this band (anywhere from 2 years experience to 7+); compensation feels unfair HR group is not helpful or interested

While we are pleased to read that you enjoyed the focus on financial services, and the benefits this provided, we are disappointed to read your other comments. In particular, your comments around being unable to progress to the next level are counter to other reviews on this forum which talk about the opportunities to progress at Capco, and counter to the reality of the firm. Our 'no time in grade' policy means that employees can progress quickly to the next level if they are performing for a sustained period at the level above. This is supported by 6-monthly review cycles, and a robust performance management process. While we encourage employees to expand their network in the firm, and provide the option for them to get involved in the Capco community there is never any requirement to do so. In fact we launched a new performance management framework in 2017 to enable employees to choose where they want to focus their efforts by providing greater transparency around the evaluation process. If anyone feels that they are not getting the support they require from HR, then they should speak with our Global HR Director regarding their specific concerns.

Pros

After several rounds of interviews with Big 4/strategy firms, I made the decision to join Capco. There is a great culture (teaming, entrepreneurial, straightforward, open door policy) and people at all levels have in depth expertise in the financial services industry. Lots of thought leadership & projects in digital strategy, robotics, tech strategy which is the way to go!

Cons

Internal IT could be better, but I heard it will addressed shortly. Really not much, I really enjoy working here.

Thanks for your review, and we are pleased to hear that after your research and interviews with other consulting firms you chose to join Capco. We are also really excited by the thought leadership and projects in the digital, robotics and tech space. Our continued unique focus on financial services means we're in a strong position to make a real difference in the industry. As we transition to become a fully independent firm, we are focusing on enhancing our internal IT processes. This work is already underway, and the team is working hard on this. Thank you for your continued contribution to the Capco team!

Pros

Capco feels different - more edgy and innovative than a traditional big four consultancy. Who wants to work for a big four and deal with all the legacy accountancy dynamic?

Cons

Capco is a fast moving and growing company, which means a few things are self service. But that helps the culture too.

Thanks for your great review! Many of our employees choose to work for Capco rather than one of the larger consulting firms for the reasons you call out and more. The size of Capco means that bureaucracy can be limited, and it enables us to be more agile as a firm. It also supports our unique culture. Thanks for your continued contribution to the Capco team!
