Pros

There are very little pros to working at Capco. Little to no exit opportunities. Little to no tangible skills learned early on in your career. Poor Management. Only Pro is competitive salary, and a strong work life balance.

Cons

Capco is running a scheme to bring in smart college students and convincing them that working at this firm can advance your career and knowledge. Go to other boutique consulting firms if you genuinely wish to pursue a fulfilling career. The projects that Capco brings in are revenue grabs to put more money in senior management's pockets.

Capco Response
5y
Aside from your favorable feedback on Capco’s competitive reward and work life balance, we are very disappointed to read your review. It is also inaccurate as we have many examples of employees who started as junior consultants at Capco and have progressed and built a rewarding career with the firm. As a former Associate, you will be aware of the extensive training offered to those on our Associate Talent Program both on and off the job alongside coaching and mentoring. Time and again on this forum people cite the real opportunity to make a difference and our inclusive culture as reasons to stay. Any employee who feels that they are not able to secure meaningful experience and opportunities for growth should discuss this with their manager and our HR team.

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.
