Pros

Pros: Free gatorade, waters, sodas in the office. some resource managers / senior leaders actually care.

Cons

Cons: Overall: The Firm is turning into a poor quality IT outsourcing firm. It is NOT a management consultancy, and it can barely compete with Big 4 advisory (think EY FSO). The new "digital" division is just another facade to cover for tech pmo roles. Projects: Extremely poor to so-so projects. Most 'projects' are actually outsourcing / staff aug projects (think you're filling in for a low profile role the client doesn't actually want to hire/pay for). The "Change Sourcing" projects are outsourcing engagements. A large number of consultants are actually just doing testing/PMO for groups at banks now. The more interesting projects cap off at designing and implementing PMO. If you are looking for financial services projects, please look elsewhere. Leadership: Poor to average at best. Most don't really care about their employees' development. Most are just excited about their big payout when FIS fully buys out Capco in the next few years. Benefits: Great vacation allowance - however many days are "forced" vacation days. If you're not billing, be expected to take a few days off. Pay: On the lower end of consultancies. Bonuses are almost non-existent, even with a "record-year".

Pros

Capco is really into happy hrs which provides for a perfect platform to gossip.

Cons

HR recruiting team has single handedly killed the prestige and reputation of Capco. Due to the nature of consulting, a heavy importance in HR screening possible candidates is required. HR at Capco is incompetent and do not have the ability to properly measure real talent from an average joe off the street.

Pros

Capco has strong client contracts but many of the employees outside the senior level are subpar. The company has a horrendous interview process (multiple phone calls leading to group meetings - boiler room style) and I should have never accepted the position after going through such an unprofessional number of steps. The Federal client has a positive overall impression of Capco though this is likely achieved at the C-level and does not filter down into middle management of financial and IT programs.

Cons

Worst interview process I've ever gone through with a consulting company or investment bank. Extremely unprofessional and I didn't feel valued during the several weeks of discussions. Client engagements were often rushed and overbilling of the client more commonplace than with other (similar) programs. Team building exercises were often looked upon negatively and rushed by nearly all members.
