Capco reviews about "manager"

If you join the wrong project, it'll be your terrible dream. 1. Urgent tasks were repeatedly assigned without planning or clear timelines, often interrupting existing work. 2. When WFH, some employees were required to remain continuously on-call, while the manager and selected team members appeared to have more flexibility and fewer controls. 3. The manager contacted HR to change the official laptop return time without consent, which felt coercive and caused significant distress.

-No work/life balance due to unrealistic workloads, makes taking all that vacation and actually being on vacation incredibly difficult -Had rolling layoffs all year, then increased employee workloads/expectations -Some of the men (MPs and above), have issues working with strong, smart women -Toxic culture in how senior leadership treats people, especially in Canada -Old school FS culture

I don't have any cons, Capco has been a great company to work for.

- lack of career development/opportunities despite having achieved all the milestones. Career development could be intentionally slowed down - time-based progression and not merit-based. Lack of transparency and clarify on career progression upfront (e.g. during interviews). - juniors are doing leg work on most projects and not all projects are interesting. Juniors might also not be allowed to work on more complex tasks despite having the technical ability to. - poor management from line managers as most are inexperienced. - pay is so poor compared to the market especially if you are junior, very minimal bonus each year. Pay rise is non-existent.

Promotion cycle is not transparent

Consultant Environment in the Middle East is tough. Boutique and not big 4 so you need to get your hands dirty. Progression structure exists globally but less reinforced in the region - you need to drive it.

- The current mentor–mentee framework is ineffective. Mentors seldom dedicate meaningful time to their mentees, and in my case, my mentor never initiated contact. - Capco isn’t truly a consulting firm—it runs more like a body shop.

Company uncertainty and lack of updates from senior leadership surrounding this
