      Pros

      Fair comp and benefits as well as pleasant coworkers

      Cons

      Approach to performance reviews and targets is strange. 40%+ of performance is allocated to non-core functions called community. They expect you to be billable full-time, but then find time (10+hrs a week) to do volunteer work as well as participate in auxiliary activities. Recruiting, whitepapers, etc. make sense. But it's left intentionally vague how much you need to do to meet targets. Also, the sales targets of top leaders are pushed down below them without allocation of any hiring authority, expense budget to meet potential clients, or time/training to do business development. Some amount of renewable business happens at existing clients, but not the at the level passed down. You can't sell extra people that don't exist if everyone is already placed and you don't have hiring authority or ability to market to the outside. Disconnect with those realities. Also, the company was pushing DEI and had woke type policy statements going out from HR. I didn't see it yielding unfair hiring or promotion practices, but I have seen that in other places with such a focus to where it was a red flag for me staying. They openly stated the mix of people what effectively too white. The company had plenty of female representation.

      Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, there are some misstatements we would like to correct. Our performance framework defines performance expectations at each level. Community is one component of this and represents the contribution employees make in building community at Capco. This can be done through coaching others, developing new business opportunities, leading affinity groups, etc. It represents 20-25% of your overall performance assessment. The other factors considered in performance assessments are your performance in your core role and your commercial success in terms of billability (and revenue at more senior levels). If you have any questions around this or need more clarity, we encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner or review the dedicated CapcoHub page. Capco is firmly committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. This is demonstrated not only through our hiring and progression targets, but through our daily actions and our Be YourselfAtWork culture. Our goal has always been to create a workplace where everyone feels they belong, can contribute, and has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. As a meritocracy, people are hired, assessed, and rewarded based on their skills, experience, and the contribution they make to the business.

      Lots of work opportunities, little care from senior management

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunities: From both community projects and main project work, you'll have the opportunity to work towards bunch of different tools/tech/certs. They'll support learning opportunities, but it will need to immediately help the business. People: Really nice people and a lot of them are very committed and hard working. WLB: While not great, I put it in pro because they are aware that the WLB is not great, but they have measures in place to try and limit lots of overtime.

      Cons

      Senior Management: MP's, Directors, and most Partners are great. It appears they have replaced the Co-CEO's which is great, but prior they brought on Co-CEO's who had some of the worst corporate communication delivery regarding RTO message. In an all-hands meeting, one of the Co-CEO's kept mentioning how "great looking our executive team is", directing his comments towards a female representative - this made the meeting incredibly uncomfortable. The market has also been struggling and going through layoffs, and when a question was asked if additional layoffs were to be expected, they answered "we have to keep our bench clean" - there was no direct/head-on or straightforward answer that a leader should provide. One of the major reasons I decided to leave. Pay: Pay is good, but much lower than most competitors, and it's a similar workload. Culture: Not that different from consulting orgs either; practices of hiring/firing/letting are arguably worse here, between layoffs and the alarmingly high level of furloughs. Growth: Incredibly difficult to get promoted. The framework is very clear, but even when an employee outperforms the framework, they are not performed. Lots of CO's were completing senior level work and above for multiple years never were promoted.
