Pros – Capco provides a techno-functional role to an individual. The packages in which Capco majorrly works, murex and openlink, have very few consultants across the globe. So that gives a key strength to our career.

Cons – None, i think, as of now

Advice to Senior Management – Keep getting good projects with great clients, and give us chances to interact with them the way you do now.

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Capco full-time for more than a year

Pros – Easy access to senior people who you can learn a lot from
Chance to participate in high level strategy projects

Cons – MPs tend to create an hostile atmosphere at many projects and treat employees as second class citizens
Always the same type of short, high level projec. Lacking in real substance
The company tries to promote an own culture, while in reality, things are different…be aware of many false advertisements and many broken promises
Projects are too intensive work wise and demand more then 8 hrs. along with weekends

Advice to Senior Management – Either give better perks or treat people better, otherwise, you will not be able to retain employees too long

Current Employee – been working at Capco full-time for less than a year

Pros – Numerous perks, small and close-knit teams, lots of parties, easily accessible upper management, fun atmosphere, cool hardware to work with.

Cons – Project requires extra working hours, not many indoor facilities, limited recreational options, project has reduced my skill-set from my previous work experience.

Advice to Senior Management – You shouldn't tax the employees with extra work on a regular basis, otherwise the perks given won't hold for long in retaining an employee.

Pros – Capco allows us to be adults with little monitoring or limiting of our computer website access. Additionally, the North America CEO tours project sites and meets with staff in round table sessions to hear concerns and learn what works and does not work first hand. The company is growing rapidly, but is still small enough for this.

Cons – Politics and a insufficient on-boarding support.

Advice to Senior Management – Have more Friday events for those of us who travel all week. That way we can network and learn from or help others grow and develop. Have more brown-bag, call in and classroom training sessions.

Former Employee – worked at Capco

Pros – Nice NYC office (alebit in downtown...no one is downtown anymore), good exposure to senior management if you make an effort, if you like PMO this is your place.

Cons – Poor compensation and no signing bonuses, all PMO and staff aug work. The project based opportunities are large scale tech implementation (PMO nonsense) where utilizing your brain is frowned upon. Senior management in NA is European and they have no sense of the culture / drivers of the US market. Bonuses over 5K are distributed semi-annually as management knows people will take the money and run elsewhere

Advice to Senior Management – Pay people accordingly; the bonus structure is pathetic. Your blogs where you constantly make fun of American traditions annoys everyone. Stop watching soccer on the TV's in the office and try to sell some decent engagements.
