Poor management and lots of politics - Consultant Capco Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. The firm is always looking to improve the experience of our people at Capco (and we are certainly a firm that employs lots of millennials and fosters their inclusion / empowerment). Any professional services firm is only as good as the talent it attracts, develops and retains. For this reason, quality of work and rapid career progression are key strands of our proposition and factors on which we differentiate from our competition (who tend to favour time-served career models). If you are not happy with the content of your role, please speak with your personal coach (they are there for exactly this purpose). Clearly it is important for our consultants to collaborate and get on well with people, as this is an important determinant of success at Capco. However, this is not about getting in someone’s good books; it is about working together to create effective, successful business solutions for our clients. We match strong technical capability with a team-based approach. We are proud of the Partner group in Canada. They are a diverse group who put effective people and talent management at the heart of their accountabilities and time. If you have had a poor experience with your line manager, please raise this issue with another Partner. Our culture at Capco is strong, inclusive and robust enough to have mature and open conversations, particularly if there are issues that need to be addressed. The latest Glassdoor data shows that 80% of our people would recommend working at Capco to a friend. Your comments about our HR team are also incorrect. Our team dedicates a lot of time to promoting and sustaining our culture. Time and again people tell us that our culture is the single most important factor in their decision to build a career at Capco. It is also one of the reasons why we have been recognised formally as one of the leading employers in Canada. On the reference to sexual harassment, we reject this feedback in the strongest possible terms. Capco one of the few employers that insist on annual mandatory respect and anti-harassment training for all employees and leaders in the firm. On the rare occasions that a case is raised, it is investigated by trained professionals, and confidentiality is jealously protected. If there is even a hint of wrongdoing, we act quickly and decisively to address the issue, including strong disciplinary sanctions if appropriate. If you have any information to the contrary, I urge you to act ASAP by reporting it to the confidential whistleblowing helpline, which is available to all staff, or contact David Heffernan, our global HR director. We have spent a great deal of time and energy building an inclusive culture in Capco, one where all our people have the chance to be themselves and everyone can fulfill their full potential, at work. We continually take steps to sustain our culture so that we leverage the full range of talents in the firm to meet our clients’ objectives, and to ensure that working at Capco is a rewarding and fulfilling experience.
