Thank you for your feedback. While we are pleased to hear that you agree that Capco offers market-leading compensation and benefits, we are disappointed in your review overall. Consulting is a client-focused business, however, if any employee is unhappy in their client role, we would always encourage them to speak with their HR Business Partner or Coach. Without knowing the specifics of your comment, it's difficult to comment further. We wish you the best of luck in your next role.

Pros

A lot of smart people get tricked into joining, and the culture is still good at entry level

Cons

Work has shifted from involving some strategy to pure staff aug, project management outsourcing, data grunt work, random stuff back office staff won't do themselves. Promotions are about who you know and good work is not rewarded. There is a lack of expertise that is compensated for by an aggressive sales culture and long hours worked by entry level consultants with no guidance.

Thank you for your feedback. Whilst we agree that we hire a lot of smart people, our approach is certainly not to "trick" people into joining. Our recruitment process is designed to enable candidates to meet a number of people from HR and the business throughout their journey to allow them to get a true sense of Capco and to decide if it's the right place for them. At the start of the year, we introduced a new approach to performance management which enhances our current process. The pilot which we are running throughout 2017 is designed based on employee feedback and complements our robust roundtable and promotion processes. We are disappointed to hear that you feel there was a "lack of expertise" and an "aggressive sales culture." As a consultancy solely focused on the financial services industry, our consultants offer deep expertise in this sector.

Pros

What was great about working at Capco as they were up in letting you take cool classes for additional education even if it technically didn't have to do with your current job, for which the paid for! For example a decoding class. They were also know for being very active to let you participate in activities, like running races and playing tennis in Roosevelt Island in NYC, which they paid for! They also let you volunteer during working hours. Best of all, they paid for us to go to Puerto Rico, which felt like a vacation then work! This was back in 2015 before they were taken over by FIS, so things may have changed.

Cons

Even though Capco had a lot of Pros back in 2015, they also had a lot of Cons which included supervisors who made it difficult for you to work which ended up making you lose your job. Capco executives did not help in anyway from stopping the supervisor of treating the employee this way.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed working at Capco back in the day - we continue to offer exciting training classes as well as a whole host of sports and social activities. These groups and events are all organized and run by our dedicated and enthusiastic employees under the umbrella 'Forming the Future of Fun'. All of these activities remain a key part of the Capco culture and are what sets Capco's culture apart from many of its competitors. We are disappointed to hear your specific comments around supervisors. If there are any instances where an employee feels unhappy, we would always encourage them to speak with their HR Business Partner or Coach so that any issues can be dealt with. Without knowing details of your particular circumstances it's difficult to comment further, however, please be assured that we take any employee concerns raised very seriously.
