Pros

Free fruit. That's All. There really are no positives to working at this shop. It is a sad place to work. Its closer to a staffing agency than a company.

Cons

This is not consulting & those who realize that leave very quickly. They treat you as a body & staff you where there is an opening at a bank. They false-advertise & do not tell the truth in interviews at all. Rampant Ex-Accenture people running this place. Its all staff augmentation, body-shopping, change sourcing, which is far from consulting. Other negative reviews are on point. All shopping bodies. Quality of projects is not good & the work you do is below intern level.

Capco Response

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate hearing from our employees and continually look for ways to enhance the Capco experience for all of our people. One of the great advantages of a career in consulting is the ability to work on different client projects and obtain broad exposure. While we recognise at times that every role may not be an exact match for longer-term career interests, we always aim to work closely with our employees and their coaches to ensure that we are providing challenging and rewarding opportunities. Something which is a fundamental part of our resourcing model and our culture. Our leadership team also place a strong focus on this, regularly reviewing the pipeline of work to ensure that it aligns with the needs and aspirations of our people. From a recruitment stand-point, all individuals involved in the recruitment process undergo training to ensure that we are communicating the right messages at all time. As a firm, it serves no interest to bring employees on-board under false pretences and we strive to ensure that what we communicate throughout the hiring process translates into the day to day experience of a Capco consultant. We strive to provide a working environment where employees feel supported, as well as an inclusive environment where people can succeed regardless of their background or experience. Our #BeYourselfAtWork movement is one example of our work in this area. We’re sorry to hear about your experience - we are committed to providing world-class opportunities for our people and would be happy to speak with you about your experiences 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.
