      Capco Scotland - Reflection from First Week

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As the title suggests, I’m a recent joiner of Capco and given I read several reviews on this site before applying, thought only right I leave a review of my experience. Before joining Capco, I was a long term permanent member of staff at one of the major banks. While this was enjoyable, I knew I needed a fresh challenge and right from the Job Advertisement, Capco seemed to be what I was looking for. After years in a ‘traditional’ bank, the most important thing for me was the culture and during a couple of visits to the Edinburgh office and meeting a few employees (doing the interviews), I could tell even then I liked the atmosphere, environment and general ‘feel’ of the place. So, having been in Financial Services for over 15 years I can say that Capco is clearly somewhere a bit more dynamic, where the work will be challenging and varied, where there is a culture of opportunity and learning and more importantly, everyone is supportive and everyone’s voice is heard equally …and coming from a traditional big bank, I’m amazed already at the access to Snr. Management and their willingness to engage.

      Cons

      This is more of a concern really, but hope that the culture and ‘feel’ of Capco that attracted me isn’t eroded when: a) I find myself on a client site (and start to go native) and b) Capco continues to recruit to meet growth strategy

      Excellent company to work for - good development and career enhancing opportunities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Interesting and challenging projects with client responsibilities at all levels from the first day on-site - Great people throughout the firm with an open and approachable leadership team - Pro-active culture which means that there is the opportunity to develop your skills and expertise - Good promotion opportunities and performance management process. I have been through three performance management cycles since joining Capco and it is clear to see that good work is rewarded. Capco also conduct a at half-year and year-end, which gives further opportunity for promotion and ensures that mid-cycle new joiners can also be included - Great events throughout the year

      Cons

      - Honestly cannot think of any - perhaps work/life balance, but this is something that the individual also needs to manage and communicate with line managers and/or coaches. The occasional late night is generally expected across the industry.

      Thanks for your feedback and we are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your first year at Capco! We fully agree that there is lots of opportunity at Capco and it's great to hear that you have witnessed this yourself, having experienced three performance management cycles. Capco operates as a true meritocracy with a 'no time in grade' policy. This means that if someone is performing at the next level for a sustained period they are considered for promotion, something which can take years in other firms. The firm considers promotion cases twice per year, which means there is lots of opportunity for talented individuals to progress quickly in the firm. Capco's non-hierarchical structure and collaborative approach means that consultants at all levels are given real responsibility from the start. This is coupled with a strong support network including intensive induction training, coaching, team support and ongoing training opportunities. Thank you for your continued contribution to Capco!
