Pros

Excellent work community. Excellent benefits. Work-life balance.

Cons

Capco is a client facing management consultancy so be ready to perform at all times. Senior consultant level and above can be on multiple projects over a course of a year. Smaller pay jumps for promotion than what you would get negotiating a salary at time of hire. Company needs to focus on pay retention and not pay to hire.

One of the things that positively differentiates Capco from other firms is our focus on recognising talent and accelerating progression. For this reason we do not apply a restrictive ‘time in grade’ barrier to promotions but look to advance people once they are meeting the expectations of the next grade. To ensure promotions are fair, however, we complement our focus on progression with country, region and firm-wide roundtables and reviews that ensure there is broad parity between the general speed and number of promotion in the different grades, in the different businesses and locations across the firm. We also have a facility for anyone not comfortable with the way their performance has been assessed to raise issues or questions on a rating or promotion. It is a testament to the quality of our performance assessment and roundtable process that this is rarely necessary.

Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate that some client engagements are long-term, however, we encourage you to seek other internal opportunities if you would like to experience different types of work or a diverse set of clients. We have many opportunities available that are posted in our resourcing app. You can also speak with your HR Business Partner and the Resourcing Manager to share your interests and they will support you in finding your next role. If you have questions about promotion criteria, please reach out to your HR Business Partner who can share the criteria by level with you.
