Pros

Good Leadership Use of latest technologies for internal communications, social enabled website, Good Package for experienced employees

Cons

Bad Middle management There is no structure for resource management. Leadership has good intentions and initiatives but people at middle management and coaches have no desire to improve employee's work atmosphere. No respect for the employee's career path and objectives while assigning projects. Some of the middle managers were recruited based on experience in non-US countries who have no knowledge about how resource management and time management cultures of US. Confused hierarchy. Reporting Manager is different from the person who actually assigns and monitors the daily work load. On top of that, there is a Coach who has no direct understanding of the employees work or the client but plays a role in annual review.

Pros

If you are lucky enough to work with one of the remaining talented consultants that has not left the firm yet (only a few are left), one can truly develop themselves and have a good experience.

Cons

Once a respected firm committed to the financial services industry, Capco has decided to exit the management consulting market and enter the temporary services industry as a low-cost provider of bodies to banks and whoever is in need of cheap labor. The firm’s leadership still markets the company to potential applicants as a place where innovation and meritocracy are fostered. While this may have been true of the old firm, in reality, Capco is continuing to drive its costs down by neglecting talent and scraping up the desperate and gullible for the associate and consultant pools.

Pros

Ability to be staffed and put in front of senior clients regardless of experience or qualifications Willing to dramatically undersell competitors to get in the door without considering impacts to consultants on the ground or quality of delivery Leadership team with lots of experience--they're the ones that helped crash BearingPoint New Leadership from UK office not afraid to ignore, ice out, fire, or berate lazy Americans

Cons

Recruitment hires non-stop regardless of pipeline Poor management alienates qualified people Doesn't value people or clients Mostly a body shop with little investment in training Little respect from clients or prospective employers
