Pros

There are some good people there.

Cons

Unfocused, hire at the senior level without a clear vision of their strategy. Clubby environment. Unprofessional. Firm has changed strategy too many times. Was recently acquired by a Private Equity firm, but have lost too many key resources. Unless you are starting out your career or you have no other options, steer clear.

Whilst we appreciate your comments around the fact that Capco has good people, we are disappointed by your other remarks. Capco has a unique culture, which is different to many other organizations, and certainly larger, more bureaucratic, hierarchical firms. Our working environment in some of our locations may appear less corporate, however, this does not make us less professional in any way. We remain 100% committed to serving our clients in the financial services industry, at the same time as ensuring our people have the opportunity to develop, progress and pursue their career aspirations. Capco's has recently been established as an independent enterprise, however contrary to your comments, feedback through different channels has shown us that our employees have a clearer understanding of the strategy and are excited by the opportunities ahead.

Pros

+Nice office in downtown NY - Manhattan I really struggle to find anything good to say.... there is just nothing. I have only been here so long, because i had special circumstances that made it okay.

Cons

-Bad leadership -Bad organization and structure -Horrible culture -Bad projects Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. There are major systemic problems at this company that cannot and will not be fixed anytime soon. I dont even think they are being considered as problems. Staffing is done without regards to individual skillets and/or progression of the person. Most projects are under horrible circumstances (Traveling fees only partially covered, Client does not want consultants there, Client just rude in general, Incredibly under- or overstaffed, totally wrong skillets on projects, internal power struggles within Capco, No leadership or proper management on project, No kind of "airsupport" when necessary, etc.). I have seen other consultancies, and this is just a worse case. Especially on the lower grades (AO/CO) the churn is just incredibly high because of the overall bad situation.

A Fast Growing Firm

Pros

Capco is growing aggressively which means it has lot to offer. The internal connect sessions are a great way to socialize and to know what is going on in another world apart from your project. Management and HR are quite cordial and approachable and regularly interact with employees. Overall, an employee friendly place to work.

Cons

It still need to mature in terms of infrastructure and policies.
