Pros
As the title suggests, I’m a recent joiner of Capco and given I read several reviews on this site before applying, thought only right I leave a review of my experience.
Before joining Capco, I was a long term permanent member of staff at one of the major banks. While this was enjoyable, I knew I needed a fresh challenge and right from the Job Advertisement, Capco seemed to be what I was looking for.
After years in a ‘traditional’ bank, the most important thing for me was the culture and during a couple of visits to the Edinburgh office and meeting a few employees (doing the interviews), I could tell even then I liked the atmosphere, environment and general ‘feel’ of the place.
So, having been in Financial Services for over 15 years I can say that Capco is clearly somewhere a bit more dynamic, where the work will be challenging and varied, where there is a culture of opportunity and learning and more importantly, everyone is supportive and everyone’s voice is heard equally
…and coming from a traditional big bank, I’m amazed already at the access to Snr. Management and their willingness to engage.
Cons
This is more of a concern really, but hope that the culture and ‘feel’ of Capco that attracted me isn’t eroded when:
a) I find myself on a client site (and start to go native) and
b) Capco continues to recruit to meet growth strategy
