Pros

-Good salary -Good benefits -Good range of Financial services clients -Good consulting opportunities

-Leadership (Partners & Managing Principals) focused on serving themselves rather than helping others to grow, develop and succeed. -Plenty of backstabbing by Managing Principals to get a shot at Partnership at the expense of others -No positive role models -Poor support for self development and promotion -Poor work life balance

Capco Response

While we are pleased to read that you enjoyed many of the benefits of working at Capco, we are disappointed to read your overall perspective. As an organization, we promote a collaborative and inclusive culture, reinforced by our values, processes, and policies. We have an extensive learning curriculum alongside coaching and knowledge sharing events to support career development. We also have a defined performance enablement process with two promotion cycles per year and clear promotion guidelines. At Managing Principal level, performance assessments place a firm focus on tangible commercial outcomes as well as being subject to significant review and elaboration to ensure fair and objective assessment of contribution. Many of our colleagues have joined from industry or other backgrounds, and we welcome fresh thinking and fresh perspectives – in fact, one of our values, Make a Difference, is about challenging the status quo and thinking beyond boundaries. Our people surveys have shown that inclusion, authenticity and fair treatment are among our biggest strengths.

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.
