Pros

Wider business and senior leaders are really engaged in recruitment and the value it adds to the business. Those hiring for teams are well versed in what is expected of them when it comes to interviewing and feedback time frames for example. Great opportunity to work with a variety of stakeholders and impact at a senior level. Some genuine nice people working in the organisation with many seeming happy to help and provide guidance.

Cons

Management of the recruitment team feels autocratic and communication from the top is poor. Work/Life balance needs addressing and has created a 'them and us' feeling within the wider team. Ability to work from home and flexibility tends to be down to seniority and/or depth of personal relationship. Lacks any degree of consistency. Communication style of management was often aggressive and lacked empathy. At times I was shocked at how team members were spoken to and treated.

Capco Response

We are pleased to read that you enjoyed many aspects of working at Capco. We take all feedback seriously and while we don’t recognize all of the points that you raise, we would like to share examples of steps taken based on employee feedback to continually enhance the team environment. At the end of last year, we introduced bi-weekly sessions with the business to facilitate team learning. Team members select topics they would like to learn more about and invite members of the business to present on these. We also introduced flexible working for the team to enable everyone to manage their own time effectively. If a team member has concerns at any time, then we would encourage them to raise this in their weekly 1:1 meeting with their manager or with our UK HR Lead, Neil Hunsworth or Global HR Lead, David Heffernan. There are lots of internal channels for employees to share their ideas, concerns and feedback at Capco.

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.
