Pros

Less work, one fruit a day, capco parties, cab facility (although its a headache to deal with transport guy) You can a good hike when u r a new joiner but the same goes away in an year and hikes are biased on nepotism

Cons

Quality of work if very bad. Its just a body shop model. In hsbc project it is divided into 3 parts - PMO, Retail Banking and Commercial Banking. Each group follows their own working ethics. In some group work from home is at will while in others it is not allowed. Precisely everything depends on your manager. In retail baking everything is chilled out. InPMO there are too many senior managers so fight for power can be felt. Commercial banking is in different world all together placed on one corner has its own universe, sun (managers) and planets (workforce). If you can revolve around the powerful managers and be sycophant your fate is sealed. Else you have to search for your role and always be cautious of cunning management. As fault will be always yours. Manager (commercial banking) can come and go at any time but u have to complete the mandate of 9 hrs. Login and logout is checked via biometric system. Your lady manager can take leave anytime but there will be an escalation if you take single unplanned leave also. If you go on long leave 10-15 days you will be thrown out of project. If you stay in whitefields or near you will be forced to work from client location which is very far. Your manager will make sure that you are humiliated in front of client and they can come clean. PROACTIVE word will be used often till u start hating to the core. No matter what job role you are offered, but u need to perform what your clients asked ( basically a secretary). Like arranging meetings, MoM, sharepoint management and so on. Good that I left at the correct time. You will even have to struggle to drink water it is so highly mismanaged. Pantry where we get tea/coffee stinks. Tea comes at a particular time if u r late u wil not get it

Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you did not have a positive experience. We provide training for our managers, however, we also encourage our employees to speak with their Coach or the HR team if they find themselves in a situation where they are unhappy, whether that relates to a project or something else within the firm. We want all employees to have a positive experience and where an employee is unhappy, support is always available from a variety of sources including an individual's Coach, Manager, HR and the different Capco communities.

Pros

Capco has a friendly culture where people like to win together. A solid meritocracy that is expertise focused, and growth oriented with approachable leaders and plenty of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Employees should be self-motivated (which for me is a plus), but being a smaller company it does lack clear and standard documentation routines. There is no one-size fits all career map, which allows self-starters to succeed and rise quickly in the organization.
