Pros

1. Indian Managers are in La La land and oblivious to the fact that their leads in India are incompetent people (good company for freshers as leads and they are at same level of knowledge) 2. Managers chose their leads based on their relationship and comfort level (within and outside the organization their nexus is the key). So anybody with such skills gets the lead role in general and its easy. 3. Projects are limited and people get good amount of bench time, promotions while on bench and all other facilities. (Again relationships matter with Managers, HR) 4. Salary is generally on time but reimbursements can take ages. (after all Finance team is so efficient) 5. Getting a cab at logout (usually 9:30 pm) is like a circus. Lots of fun with all the confusion created by the transport vendor and admin. 6. If you are favorite of HR then you will be taken care off in a great way. They value your commitment towards them.

Cons

1. Managers feel comfortable at making sure that people with similar skill levels as theirs are kept as leads. Then their position in the future is not threatened. They like people who can do nothing the whole day and still look busy just like them. 2. Managers can come and go from office as they wish and so can their incompetent leads. Mostly empty vessels that make lots of noise to show their importance. 3. They hire people from outside by paying huge money for certain product skills but will not train people in products within the organization. The training programs are limited to things that you can easily find on the internet. 4. Managers and HR are rigid in their approach. Very comfortable doing what they do daily. Anybody with good suggestions or approach that demands changes will be considered as aggressive.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very disappointed to read your review and that you feel your specific concerns were not addressed. We would encourage any current employees who have specific concerns to raise or suggestions to speak with their Coach, HR Business Partner and/or HR Director, Richard Gartside. The HR function is always open to hearing ideas from employees and as a firm, Capco has always fostered a strong culture of empowerment to enable employees to run with their ideas if they have good support.

Pros

Great quality of people Lots of responsibilities Strong work ethic Continued solidarity after leaving the company Varied contracts always in the financial sector Regular access to new projects

Cons

Firstly some contracts fill staffing needs rather than actual consulting work 30% of your time you will be doing tasks simply for apparences to the client or to your boss (e.g. time-consuming re-analysis or rephrasing reporting).

Pros

Having worked at Capco for 6 years, I have seen the company go through a lot of growth and I have enjoyed being part of this. The culture has changed over the years but is no less strong and allows for continuous improvement and innovation - which is owned by employees. What has remained consistent during this time is the focus on people and their development. I along with many others have been given opportunities, excellent training and support to develop that we would not have received at other companies. I have enjoyed the flat structure at Capco, the approach-ability of the leadership and the friendliness of employees.

Cons

Capco is a fast paced company to work for - anyone looking for a slow paced, hierarchical company will not be suited to Capco.

The company has gone through a tremendous amount of growth over the past six years and this is set to continue, which will mean even more opportunities for our people. As with any organization, our culture has evolved over time, however, the leadership remain focused on the people agenda and to recruiting and retaining talented employees. These are exciting times for Capco!
