Pros

People are fun. They sent the entire company to Puerto Rico for a weekend.

Cons

The work is beyond mind-numbing, even on the "good projects." This is a staff augmentation firm disguised as a consulting company. No where else in the industry is it common practice to be on a project for at least a year. Senior management lies and does not support mobility. A partner quoted the statistic that from the time a resource states they would like mobility, it will take 6 months to a year. In that time, the average employee has left the firm, and management is "shocked." Capco prays on ignorant college students who want to get into finance/consulting to join the Associate Talent Program. The 2-week training is a waste of time and does not prepare anyone for client work, which is just project management and communication.

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.
