RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Capco full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- Recently taken private again
- Flush with opportunity to impact the direction of the firm at every level
- New offices, new clients coming online
- Culture that's true to their word when they say "Pitch a good idea and we'll let you run with it"; this is especially true in newer offices like Charlotte and DC
- Simple yet fair comp structure; doesn't try to pay people less through smoke and mirrors complex bonus programs like at a lot of firms
- Plenty of opportunity for people who want to step up to the plate and leave their mark on the firm
- Quick promotion for those who are ready; no arbitrary forced time in current levels
- Best benefits I've seen in the last decade, especially for families
- A culture of work hard, but with a sincere concern and understanding that you have a life outside of consulting. They have unlimited sick days on top of paid time off but because of the culture I've not seen nor heard of anyone abusing this policy and it's a great one to have when you need it!
- I could keep going, but you get the idea, this is a great firm with a lot of potential as a company and for anyone who works here.Cons
- After splitting from FIS and going private, the operations are VERY lean. Not a terrible con as all of these are being worked on, but it does take time. Having to stand up new IT functions, update corporate policies, finance operations, etc. doesn't happen at the flip of a switch. Anyone who understands this will not be bothered by this
Advice to Management
Capco has a very bright future, keep up the good work with the opportunities afforded to it after going private. Focus on growth but don't lose sight of the amazing culture that is the core of this firm, as many other firms have lost sight of this and are quickly failing.

Application
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
