Pros

Decent wages, willingness to sponsor some employees for visas (not applicable to me), hours are reasonable for consulting.

Cons

Management treats employees like chips in a game of poker, bringing in more when work is plentiful and cutting them when business is slower. The fact that they are heavily weighted to small handful of clients contributes to this fact. There is NO clear training or growth prospects since the infrastructure is lacking as are formal processes. Most client engagements are staff-augmentation roles so that you become of temp employee of the client - not a consultant. Due to the high turnover and erratic client engagements, you WILL work on projects that are outside of your areas of specialty leading to low quality output and client dissatisfaction. Finally, unprofessional employees permeate this organization and there is no means of voicing needs regarding change.

Pros

- High Profile clients - Decent benefits

Cons

- They will staff you in roles that are slated for senior/high level consultants yet will not compensate you for it even though they are billing the client at a higher rate. Sounds pretty unethical to me - Management and Leadership have very little visibility to your book of work with the client - Very cliquey atmosphere, not very welcoming - You will get staffed where you are needed regardless of your input and desires - Leadership left a lot of empty promises

Pros

Used to be some good people before they all left

Cons

HR only interested in saving money, don’t care about employees at all. Huge exodus in last couple of years due to terrible senior management You won’t be promoted if you’re not in the boys club Excessive value placed on internal work in performance appraisal

We are disappointed to read your feedback. On the contrary, the HR and leadership teams care deeply about our Capco people and want to ensure that employees are set up for success. There is a transparent performance management process which clearly outlines how each aspect of performance is assessed. We operate two review and promotion cycles per year and people are promoted based on a clearly published criteria, including sustained performance at the next level. Our review process takes into account feedback from multiple stakeholders to ensure a fair and robust process.
