Amazing people
Great events
Salary is above the market average
Cons
Ultimately Capco's model is resource augmentation, they place you mainly in existing teams within the client, and you are ultimately at their mercy, projects are long term based on the account model

Thanks for your feedback. We are glad that you enjoy working with our people!As a firm, we are committed to providing excellent service to our clients and a positive experience for our employees. While we understand that sometimes employees may find themselves in a role which is not their first choice, we pride ourselves in providing significant and varied opportunities for our people to grow their careers. We strongly encourage all employees to reach out to their HR Business Partner, Coach or another member of the leadership team to seek alternative roles, where applicable. Be assured that any staffing decisions we make are done only after careful consideration and thorough review, and note that such practices are also common within the consulting industry.
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.
