Pros

They pay your salary on time ! (till they fire you just because)

Cons

Can you make clear to us what the upcoming layoffs assessment criteria are? Are you going to roll the dice? Visit a fortune teller? Close your eyes and pick? Bench status? Performance ratings? Friendships, maybe? (hmmm, cheeky me)

Capco Response
2y
After a period of unprecedented levels of demand, the demand for consulting services has moderated somewhat due to the current economic climate. Unfortunately, this has resulted in us offering voluntary redundancies to a number of employees in the UK. We have followed a consistent process, and we are happy to discuss this with you further if you contact the HR team.

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.
