Lacks purpose and weak culture

Pros

Compensation can be high No travel required in certain markets Get exposure to the financial industry

Cons

Capco struggles is defining its purpose and creating a strong culture. Many people there do not have a sense of loyalty to the firm nor are they excited about Capco. In some markets, especially DC, Capco's sole business is tethered to a single account and you will essentially function as an employee of the client. That situation will not change because the partners don't seem to want to invest into growth elsewhere and seem comfortable in the arrangement. I would only join Capco if you are unhappy with your current compensation... but realize you're taking a huge risk.

Thank you for your positive comments on our market competitive compensation and benefits and our breadth of exposure to clients in the financial services industry. Capco has chosen to differentiate by way of our focus on financial services. Our consultants at all levels work with a range of market-leading clients in FS alongside seasoned professionals and subject matter experts with a wide range of experience in the sector. Diversification of our client portfolio is a key component of Capco’s strategy for growth. While continuing to serve our foundational clients in locations like DC, we are investing in both extending the range of services we offer, particularly in Digital innovation, and breaking into new clients and markets. We have recently announced a significant restructure of our organizational model in the U.S. to support this objective. A more integrated U.S. business under a common leadership team will enable us to increase collaboration across the region and optimize the deployment of talent in our clients and the market. Our new business model will enable us to better leverage our domains, offerings, and people across the entire U.S. market. We will be able to offer more holistic, innovative and leading edge solutions to clients and more opportunities for career development and progression to our people.

Pros

If you are deployed to good clients and you are able to perform you might feel good

Cons

This company does not have any ethics.Starting from interview they bluff.Senior leadership ( if at all they are called leader) from the beginning give you wrong Rosy picture.BTW they are body shopping factory.You will be given some other profile when you join.Please do not resign on the basis of their offer letter they might withdraw anytime.On top of that there notice period is 3 month from day 1.Senior folks stay away.You might not get the salary you have been promised. I will suggest please read reviews for interview experience tab as well.Though their HR write fake review of the company they are so dumb that they forget to write good interview experience.You can read both reviews together to get the right picture until they start playing with that part😋.

This feedback is disappointing and to at least some degree, unfair. Capco is a values-led organisation and we expect values-led behaviour from our Partners and leaders. We do not create an overly ‘rosy’ picture of the firm, nor do we expect people to work in a role that they have not accepted. To do so would not result in the committed and engaged workforce we require to deliver a high service to our clients. If we did engage in this activity, it would be reflected in abnormal levels of turnover as unhappy staff would have left our firm, which is not the case. Claims that we are a ’body shop’ are also unsubstantiated. Capco in India has had significant and consistent growth in the last 3 years and has expanded capabilities in several areas across Business and Digital Transformation working with Global and Regional Banks. Our strategy has been to invest heavily in the development, skills and capability of our people in the functional areas as well as new technologies. As a result we are able to offer a broader range of roles and engagements than we have ever had in the past. Under no circumstances do we make an offer and then rescind it during notice. A 3-month notice period is market standard and common in the industry. It is applied uniformly across all levels and employees. Of course employees are paid the rate that they are promised. If they were not we would lose staff and face legal challenge. We do not. As other feedback on this site testifies, we pay in advance of market at all levels for our best performers and our feedback on salary levels more generally is very strong. Finally we look to give potential recruits a good experience and introduction to Capco and in the vast majority of cases we succeed. That said, we acknowledge that we can always improve and one of the reasons we engage so readily with Glassdoor is our desire to obtain and respond to feedback. To post interviews ourselves would simply give a picture of the business we were unable to sustain and again contribute to high turnover. It would not be in line with our values-led culture nor would it make sense for our business and we do not do it. If you are genuinely looking to give us substantiated feedback so that we can improve our processes for others and when you have some proper suggestions for how we might do this, we would love to hear from you.

Consultancy at its infancy.

Pros

Ahead of the local market in terms of remuneration. Good exposure for various banking projects.

Cons

Obviously Malaysian market is not their focus. The MD for Malaysia changed 3 times in few years. It gives you the impression that Malaysian office is isolated and neglected on its own. All corporate services are based out of one country which is lack of transperancy and accountability. Travel, Account, Finance, IT, and HR are all managed together. It's good for cost saving but bad for local employee engagement especially when you are planning adhoc traveling during the weekend and requires IT support. Last one might be natural to consultancy but the Malaysian consultant felt they are more like a service centre for rest of APAC. Colleagues from other countries may request works to be delivered(adhoc if you are on bench) but no sharing/feedback/updates on the works delivered as if they are totally cut off after their ideas being considered.

Capco strives to provide a collaborative, challenging and rewarding environment for our consultants throughout all of our offices worldwide. As Capco in Asia has continued to develop, our Malaysian office is a key contributor to the region, supporting regional and local initiatives. Our commitment to the Malaysian market and our clients has been and will continue to be strong as demonstrated by our rapid growth and the recent addition of a senior manager with 20 years of Capital Markets experience to lead the practice. Globally, regionally and locally Capco’s mission is to best support our consultants in pursuit of our clients’ success and we are constantly reviewing, analyzing and improving to ensure we meet that goal. Thank you for your feedback. If you would like to discuss any specific concerns or share suggestions, then please reach out to your HR representative and we wish you well in your future endeavors.
