Pros

Variety of work can sometimes be good, especially in data practice. Client quality is good too.

Cons

Capco are very blatant when it comes to telling complete untruths throughout the recruitment process. Apparently bonuses are 10-15% - no they are nowhere near it, every new recruit is frustrated at having been lied to so willingly. Comms around the most important matters to employees - their compensation in a cost of living crisis - take 3 months to finalise, no communication on them, and then they're late against their own timelines. No updates, no consideration for anxious employees.

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.
