Pros

there are no postives to Capco

Cons

Zero exit opportunities. No one in the consulting or finance industry has heard of it and anyone that has doesn't respect it. Anyone who you work for isn't going to teach you anything but how to spin BS until a client signs an SOW, then you prescribe a baseless target operating model that will never be put into action. It's not uncommon for "partners" to outright lie to a client to get a sale.

Capco Response
5y
Former Capco employees regularly take up new opportunities to progress their careers with other organisations on the back of the high quality skills and experience they have secured in the firm. Thankfully, most of our people are satisfied and fulfilled, and so choose to build a career internally on the basis of the access to accelerated progression, high quality work, and inclusive culture. Capco partners with some of the largest financial services firms in the world, and many of our relationships are long term partnerships that we have had over many years, testifying to the high quality of the work that we deliver, and our commitment to value and quality. Our delivery of innovative, sector-specific and leading edge solutions has resulted in strong year on year growth in recent years.

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.
