Pros
Capco offers the best of both worlds, a small company feel where you will be known and able to make an impact, but also brings a Big 5 punch when it comes to delivering complex projects to top tier clients.
Projects are at industry leading companies. The caliber of talent steepens your own growth trajectory, as you are surrounded by passionate, bright, people with deep domain knowledge and technical expertise. You know the impact you can make on the organization and don’t feel like just another number - leadership within your group knows every employee by name. The recent shift to being private is a exciting step to fueling Capco's growth aspirations.Cons
This holds true with all consulting firms, but since teams are dispersed across clients and locations it sometimes is difficult to come together as much as we would like. There is certainly effort made to do this through a variety of after hours events- social, family and philanthropic. The team looks forward to team wide get togethers as a reunion of sorts with people you don't see on your current project.
Advice to Management
More team events would be welcomed...liking your team and wanting to get together more seems like a high quality problem to have.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capco (New York, NY) in April 2018.
Interview
I interviewed for Capco's cyber security practice as a senior consultant.
The interview consisted of an initial phone screening done by the recruiter and then went on to 2 phone interviews with a principal consultant and partner.
After the phone interviews, I was scheduled for an in person at Capco's New York office to meet with a managing partner and principal consultant
The interviews were structured to understand my management consulting experience and skill set. Capco addresses a candidate to understand how they would fit within it's culture and how flexible a candidate is ,given the dynamic environment the company operates in.
Capco works with all the biggest financial services companies in the world and sets up its employees to have top tier experiences when it comes to management consulting.
The whole interview process was excellent and the recruiters are very receptive and hands on. I had an excellent experience at Capco, and would recommend candidates to consider applying to the firm.Interview Questions
