Pros

Your experience at Capco is self-guided. Your progress is tied to your effort. Hard work is acknowledged but not necessarily documented. I wanted to travel and experience multiple type of clients...which I did. My time there was rewarding, but one always knows that this place is a stepping stone towards real consulting. If you like politics and drama, this firm might be the place for you. If you want fast paced experience, and leave for greener pastures...this firm might be the place for you. You will not conquer the world here...but you will learn a great deal about it.

Cons

It has a clique-culture. If you dare displease a partner, you will be black listed. The recent feel (post-2014) is leaning towards a staff augmentation environment. This type of work is profitable for the firm, but leads to mediocre projects. With the FIS influence, the company had lost its boutique appeal.

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.
