Pros

Most people in lower levels are awesome

Cons

- They attach community service as 20% of your yearly performance as a way to not promote people. - Pay is on the 5 percentile($20-25k) below market. - Upper management does not care about your career, only profits. - They call employees family(Huge red flag) - They lie through their teeth - Forced 3 days a week in the office with the same salary as remote

Capco Response
2y
We are sorry to hear that you feel this way. Community provides an opportunity for colleagues to get involved in internal initiatives they are passionate about, to broaden their network, develop new skills and contribute to Capco’s culture. However, the majority of an individual’s assessment is always based on their performance in their core role and promotions are based on a clear criteria, published on CapcoHub for all employees. We regularly undertake a salary benchmarking exercise to ensure that the compensation offered is in line with the market in order to attract and retain top talent, proven by our success in hiring talented individuals. In line with our supportive and collaborative culture, we sometimes refer to the Capco ‘family’. We have asked colleagues to work from the office three days a week to promote greater collaboration, support development, and to foster our Capco culture while still affording the flexibility to work from home. This is in line with the approach our clients have taken, and indeed many similar organizations. We would strongly encourage you to discuss your feedback with your Coach, HR Business Partner or a senior leader.

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.
