Pros

A few good people left doing a few interesting pockets of work. Office is based in a good location near Liverpool street station. Everyone gets a decent laptop and mobile phone. They don't have a lot of people sitting around waiting for projects so your very likely to get onto a project quickly.

Cons

This really is a bad place to work, they don't seem to have any focus on the people, its very much geared towards the stack em high sell em cheap kind of model. They don't provide any decent training or development. Coaching is very poor from the leadership team and most of the senior management are very focused on developing their own empire rather than anything more interesting. Its frankly just a mess on all levels, they have been hiring lots of Accenture people, so if your coming to capco from Accenture you'll probably be fine, but realize your joining a very different firm. If your not joining from Accenture your not really likely to do very well

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.
