Pros

I have worked at Capco for 6+ years now and can honestly say it's one of the best places I have ever worked for a number of reasons: Capco People - you will read this in other reviews, but the people are what really make the difference at Capco. People genuinely want to help you, they are approachable, with a diverse range of backgrounds and interests. I knew very little about Capco before joining, but the people I met during the recruitment process made me sure that it was somewhere I wanted to join! The fact that there is little hierarchy within the firm and that people don't get hung up on levels really helps this. Opportunity - as a member of the Corporate Services team, I've had 3 different roles in my time at Capco. For a firm that runs lean back office functions, this has never meant a lack of opportunity for my development and career growth and lots of people I know have made upwards as well as sideways moves. With Capco's new independence, there is a huge amount of opportunity for both career progression and shaping the firm. Capco culture - lots of people worry that this will be eroded with Capco's growth. We were around 200 people when I joined the UK team and we're now 800+, however, the culture has evolved with this, rather than eroded. Different people bring different ideas to the firm, this in turn has shaped the culture. It still remains a unique and fun place to work as a result. Employees can have their say, take ownership of initiatives with the support of the business, there's little bureaucracy, there are some great communities and groups to get involved with, there are recognition programs, lots of training opportunities and some really great social events and parties! If you are looking to join a firm where your opinions count, where people genuinely care, where you can work on challenging projects and be recognized and rewarded for it, where you can progress your career in a firm that's really going places and where you can have fun, join Capco!

Cons

Consulting is a fast-paced business, it isn't a 9-5 job and so may not be for everyone.

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.
