Pros

- Great colleagues to work with, limited politics at lower operational / delivery levels - Corporate Services staff - Office Manager, CIO, Procurement, Recruitment - make coming to the office a whole lot mote enjoyable - Variety of roles on offer within two key clients - Transparent, well communicated and measurable performance management process - Real attempts to promote from within where possible _ Plenty of opportunities to get involved in Community initiatives as much or as less as you wish to - Account socials are plentiful and always really good fun - Capco Scotland Town Halls are great opportunity for colleagues to get together when we don't often get the chance to on client site - Edinburgh client account has a good culture with lots of Capco colleagues on-site and Capco are well integrated there - Good salary and benefits - Flexible working (depending on client alignment)

Cons

- Small client base in Edinburgh - Disparity between agendas in Edinburgh and London offices - Management not always visible - Lack of clarity in terms of core propositions and how to sell these to clients - Reduced scope to transfer within the organisation and limited opportunity to work anywhere outside of Edinburgh other than Glasgow - No longer focusing on ATP (Accelerated Talent Programme) for graduates which was a great way of blooding in new recruits who had not been previously moulded elsewhere - Poor perception of client account in Glasgow as a result of many departures / transitions from Glasgow account to Edinburgh. No clear explanation for others of why or how this is being rectified, just that it has been acknowledged. Results in many not wanting to work on Glasgow account.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
