Our firm is certainly in growth mode, which means lots of opportunities for employees supported by our culture of empowerment and flat hierarchy. If you feel that it is difficult to move between accounts/assignments we would strongly recommend that you discuss this with your Coach, Manager or our Resourcing team. The FY23 objectives presented at the recent UK Town Hall gave an insight into some of the exciting opportunities and prospects within the firm from a career development perspective – and there will be more on this to come. Regarding our benefits, these are regularly benchmarked within the market and are competitive. We offer a wide range of benefits as part of our flexible benefits scheme and as part of this we offer all employees the opportunity to buy and sell holiday for the next holiday year. Pension contributions vary based on an employee’s own contribution and their tenure – the maximum exceeds the number you quote for longer tenure. We also have enhanced Shared Parental Leave pay which can be used in addition to the Paternity pay. Bonuses are also market competitive and vary by performance and level - If you have any questions around your bonus or would like to find out more about the benefits and family friendly policies, please reach out to your HR Business Partner.

Pros

Capco has been genuinely supportive and invests in the development of my career. The team culture is collaborative and positive. Work-life balance has been consistently good with reasonable expectations.

Cons

No major complaints - but every role has some client-driven variability which comes with consulting

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.
