Pros

Good colleagues who are willing to go out of their way to support you

Cons

Claim the organisation is a meritocracy but who you know is actually what gets you promoted Recent layoffs as the resourcing team aren't able to acquire the amount of projects needed to fulfil the hiring boom the organisation went through a couple of years ago Most projects are focused on resource augmentation rather than organisations needed specialists for support

Capco Response
3y
We are pleased to read that you enjoyed working with your Capco colleagues. Regarding promotions, we run two promotion cycles per year and individuals who have been performing at the next level for a sustained period can be considered for promotion. There is a clear assessment process and criteria for promotions which is shared with all employees. Capco has a wide portfolio of prestigious clients and projects offering a variety of career opportunities. After a period of unprecedented levels of demand, the demand for consulting services has moderated somewhat due to the current economic climate. As a result, we have offered voluntary, short-term sabbaticals and voluntary redundancy to a limited number of employees in the UK. That being said, employee engagement remains high, and attrition has decreased.

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.
