Thanks for sharing your feedback. Capco offers comprehensive benefits to our employees. We’re glad to hear that these have been important to you. The figure you quoted on attrition is not correct, our attrition is nowhere near that level. Attrition has been at or below industry standards in Capco. There are many opportunities to progress and develop as we grow the firm and these factors contribute to the higher retention levels we enjoy. There are several ways in which people are recognized for their contributions. This is very important to us. Our structure is matrixed, with industry and capability domains. It is relatively flat which means employees have more direct access to senior leaders and more opportunity to make an impact. Our 401(k) plan is highly competitive with a significant match. Through the 401(k), our people can defer some of their income on a tax-deferred basis and benefit from earnings and a significant match. With regard to placement in roles, we have dedicated resourcing professionals who focus exclusively on finding suitable projects for consultants (mindful of both skills and personal development). The way we staff projects is inclusive and interactive. We encourage employees to share their interests in different types of work. Everyone has visibility of all available opportunities and people are free to apply directly for roles of interest to them. While we can’t always accommodate every request, we do make it a priority to place people in the roles they are seeking so they are highly motivated and will be successful. As the firm is enjoying rapid growth a broader range of opportunities are available to our employees. Please feel free to reach out to our Americas HR Lead, Mary Keller, to discuss your feedback and how we might best support you.

Pros

You get to work at big name banks.

Cons

Horrible experience working here. Very cut throat. You have to find your on projects on the bench. If one person says one bad thing about you your career here is killed. Not a respected consulting firm at all. I truly regret working here. It messed up my resume. They will slap you on any project as long as you’re billable.

We are very disappointed to read your review. We have dedicated Resourcing professionals in Capco who focus exclusively on finding suitable projects for any consultants who are ‘on the bench’ (mindful of their skills and personal development). The way we staff projects is an inclusive and interactive process, where we encourage employees to share their interests, aspirations and preferences. Everyone has visibility of all available opportunities, including skill requirements, and people are free to apply directly for those on which they want to be deployed. While we can’t always accommodate every request, we do make it a priority to try to place people in roles where they are most motivated so they can be successful. As the firm is enjoying rapid growth in advance of many of our direct competitors, it does mean that there is an ever broader range of opportunities available to our people. We encourage all project managers and coaches to share ongoing, real-time feedback on performance, so that people have the opportunity to build their capabilities, develop new skills, and grow their careers. We also have a robust performance management process where a range of stakeholders are invited to give input into an individual’s assessment to make this process fair and remove the possibility for unfair bias. We also use a roundtable process to benchmark individuals against their peers, and ensure an objective and fair evaluation. It is not acceptable in Capco for anyone to be impacted adversely for feedback from another individual without proper review from a number of other stakeholders. Therefore, I would encourage you to reach out to the relevant Resourcing Manager or your HR Business Partner to discuss your specific concerns. I am very confident that we will address them to your satisfaction, given development and optional deployment are so central to our people management in Capco.

Pros

Whether you're just starting your career, or transitioning from an industry role, Capco fosters an environment to grow both professionally and personally. Capco puts you in control of your career while supporting your goals and challenging you with a mixture of opportunities. Highly recommend this firm to those that have an entrepreneurial mindset and are motivated to stretch themselves.

Cons

Similar to most consulting firms, your work/life balance will depend on your staffing assignment. Additionally, there have been lots of changes in leadership but Capco's core values/cultural remain intact.
