      Career Suicide

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of time to revamp your resume and cover letter A start up - plenty of opportunities if you are willing to SELL YOUR BODY to managements and be a brown face

      Cons

      Managements never keep to their promise e.g. salary and bonuses Bonus is <5% no matter what, performance reviews are all just shows Do not write negative comments in Questionnaires / Satisfaction survey, managements see who wrote it Disgusting working environment, workload dictated by an incompetent HR Internal work assignments are waste of time and never get read by others Not a consulting firm, more like a HEADHUNTER (Sell you to crappy projects) YOU WILL GO NOWHERE

      Entrepreneurial, innovative, and energetic culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I am still new to the firm, but I have really enjoyed my time at Capco so far. The biggest pros include - Entrepreneurial feel with a big vision for the future. Capco is very nimble in trying new things and getting to market quickly - Diverse, fun, smart and engaged colleagues. - Strong performance culture, with the opportunity for great compensation - Commitment to employees and building and maintaining a great culture - they just sent the entire North American firm for an incredible 4-day offsite in Puerto Rico

      Cons

      - Lacks infrastructure of big firms and internal processes can be confusing - As a smaller, younger firm there are fewer clients and projects, which might lead to less diversity in the work - Some growing pains, particularly at the mid-levels (as expected) as the company moves from a small start-up to a mid-size firm

      The Black Sheep of Financial Consulting

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      One of my favorite aspects of Capco is how approachable the leadership (partners / executives) all are. They thoroughly encourage ideas for the betterment of their people and to retain strong performers. For example, one of the schools they offer is "Immersion" which encourages their top performers to pitch ideas from any aspect of life. They will support your idea 100% as long as you show determination and passion. Salaries are above average for the industry. If you are a performer - the money will follow. Keep in mind this is a growing company that wants to be different than the top 4 firms. If anyone has previously worked for the big 4 - they will be able to tell you how the culture (major buzzword) of Capco thrives to be different. People are very supportive and collaborative. Normally - the consulting industry is very fragmented and disconnected. However, Capco has done a great job investing in their intranet platform (CIT) to help employees become advocates of the business and stay connected. The work life balance is great and should you have any type of life changing event - Capco leadership will work directly with you. Classic example is when hurricane sandy hit New York and our home office was shutdown many leaders opened up their own homes to employees without power or needed a safe place to work or even stay.

      Cons

      Growing pains. That being said, the company is still figuring out which tools best support the business. Their biggest challenge is the fact that they use peoplesoft for time and expense. Also - their on boarding process is enough to deter anyone from re-joining with how many times you have to provide duplicative information. On boarding should be seen like a websites "landing page". If you don't get a good experience immediately - the company might have already lost you. The mission statement "forming the future of finance" is a bit overused and some of the work they take on contradicts this. However, this is understandable for a small company trying to expand their pipeline. The pipeline for opportunities to work closer to home is not as vast as individuals would prefer. Especially if you came from one of the big 4, which pressures majority of the consulting base to travel to places they would prefer not to. Many Managing Principals in the business are not good business leaders and sometimes are promoted out of default. There are several Managing Principals i have worked with that don't even know how to open an excel workbook and are glorified e-mail managers. Due to their lack of understanding of how the business operates they push tasks down to lower level consultants further creating more inefficiency in the company. Majority of these cons are what to be expected as a company in the teenager years is trying to become an adult.
