Pros

The compensation was all right, and they paid on time. It was the only positive thing that I can recall experiencing here.

Cons

The leadership of the company is terrible about the work-life balance of employees. As a consultant, you are expected to put everyone else's needs before yours. You will be expected to work stressful and brutal hours and adjust to a poor work-life balance. There is no limit to how many changes the arrogant management wants you to make to accommodate their requests. So, avoid going the extra mile for them. Their expectations never end!

Capco Response

We are very disappointed to read about your experience of Capco. By its nature, consulting isn’t a 9-5 job, and there will be periods where consultants work longer hours to meet project and client deadlines. However, Capco is committed to ensuring that colleagues have a positive work-life balance overall, and we would encourage anyone who is working long hours for a sustained period, or who feels they need additional support, to reach out to their Coach or HR Business Partner to discuss. We also have a variety of support resources, and run events and initiatives, to support the mental and physical wellbeing of our colleagues on an ongoing basis.

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.
