Pros

13/15 Best place to Work... 3 weeks vacation per year and a generous holiday schedule

Cons

Morale is low and people are leaving at all levels and they don't seem to care about matching offers. Quality of projects is below average, you are sold a dream and encounter a reality of dead-end projects such as testing, PM or similar back-office positions Salaries below average, but they claim they offer "Market rates" "Forced" vacations while on the bench, they call it Quality of Life

Toxic Culture

Pros

Capco has great people, but poor potential to evolve into more sustainable methods- a lot of it stems from the business model. There’s a high chargeable rate held to PC and MP levels while demanding annual billing of >$1M & $3M respectively. This incentivizes staff Aug work and under scoping of opportunities to win. Then employees who are over worked are told to use the bench to assist project delivery. Just bad culture in general.

Cons

Culture, business development, sales, respect - basically a sweat shop

Capco Response

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are sorry that you have had a difficult time. As you referenced in your comments, Capco has a great team of dedicated professionals who deliver high quality work for our clients. As people grow in consulting, their roles often expand to include business development and project delivery responsibilities. The billability and revenue expectations we set are typical of the consulting industry. The more significant component of how PCs and MPs are assessed is their Core performance, which is around the quality of their delivery, client relationships and people leadership, none of which incentivize staff aug or under-scoping of opportunities. While consulting can be fast-paced and may include peak periods during specific engagements, we care very much about providing a collaborative and supportive environment for our people so that we all succeed. If there is a situation where you think you need more support, we encourage you to reach out to your project manager, coach, HR Business Partner or a member of the leadership team.
