Pros

No one care about your performance, if you want a place to relax, come. It's a place for mediocre people, its not real consulting. Capco is notorious among all headhunters. You may check it yourself. You would find it difficult to find your next job.

Cons

Capco does not value Client feedback, so you only need to socialize with capco boss in order to get promoted. A capco principal consultant got complained by client and even got roll off, but he still got promoted internally. Similar comments on promotion are shared by others too

Capco Response
8y
Thank you for your review, however, we are extremely disappointed by what we read. As many of the reviews on Glassdoor attest, Capco is a firm with a highly talented, enthusiastic and diverse workforce. Many people join our firm as a result of the people they meet during the interview process and it’s one of the things which people say sets Capco apart from many other firms. As an organization, we care deeply about the development and performance of our people. Every employee is assigned a Coach to support them on their Capco career journey alongside the support they receive from their manager, HR and a variety of Capco communities. We are currently piloting an enhanced approach to performance management in the firm designed based on employee feedback. As we run the pilot, we are continuing to collect feedback from employees to ensure the process fits the needs of both the business and our people. We encourage all of our employees to share their suggestions, raise any concerns and provide feedback through a number of internal channels. It’s disappointing that it seems you did not take this opportunity, however, we would encourage other employees to reach out to a Partner or the regional HR Lead, Cat Craven with any suggestions for improvements or specific concerns.

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.
