Pros

Employee focused Fair pay Choice of projects Capco gives the opportunity and support to take your career in your selected direction. There is interesting work out there if you search for it. You get out of Capco what you put in. Good social scene and good events. The management decision making is fairly transparent. GROW programme gives the opportunity to work abroad. London and Hong Kong offices are doing well.

Cons

Benefits are limited Change of management causing unrest High staff turnover There has been a takeover by FIS and which means the focus is now more so on profitability - mass hiring, less 'exotic' events, and less generosity. Speed of progression can sometimes be based on popularity within the account and image over substance. Some think the firm was 'special' before the FIS takeover and has lost some shine. Lots of people looking back to when Capco used to give iPads as Christmas presents and fly everyone to Germany for a social - there was no Christmas gift this year and socials are held in East London bars. No bonuses this year. Staff turnover quite high due to internal unrest and attractive offers from competitors. New York and other locations not doing as well as other locations. Boldrocket is in trouble.

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.
