Pros

Although it's been a while, when I joined I was new to consulting and financial services. I was able to grow from an entry level consultant into a PC via the projects, opportunities and challenges I had at Capco. The financial services focus generally exposes you to top tier banking, wealth, insurance and financial technology clients. At the time, management was fantastic, and I made some extremely good connections via the talented colleagues I worked with. Clients were generally great to work for, and in many cases, felt like we worked alongside them.

Cons

Like any consulting role, your current project and role can dictate your experience. Some are better or worse for you and your growth. When I left, Capco was taking on more staff aug projects which can be challenging, versus team based strategy and delivery work.

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.
