Capco reviews

A clever person will have already filtered through all the sponsored reviews and know what this "consulting firm" is all about. All I have to add to that is this: Capco North America currently has a turnover rate of about 1/4th the workforce per annum. There are telemarketing and food service jobs with better numbers than that. Top managers and partners are continually wondering in private why the attrition rate is so high, and why talented young people don't want to work for Capco longterm. The answers should be pretty obvious, but I'll give you a hint: - Horrible fire/hire culture - No direction - No choice - Endless politicking - Paltry bonuses and laughable raises

Capco's problems are so many they could fill a short novel, so these are just the highlights: - Capco is emphatically not a management consultancy, or even a consultancy. It is a lower-end staff augmentation firm in the first stage of grief. Though HR, senior management, and corporate leadership will staunchly deny this, a cursory look at Capco's projects will tell you the truth. - Most of the employees are downright repulsive. Bottom of the barrel, desperate, sleazy - many of them worked at a former consultancy (BP) that went bankrupt for exactly the same lack of ethics, direction, and quality. Almost all the talented employees have already left the company after seeing the writing on the wall. - Not even a little meritocratic. Skilled Associates and Consultants are routinely passed over for promotion in favor of sycophants and lackies. I know Associates with MBAs, CFAs, advanced degrees from Ivy Leagues (or close to them), and I know PCs and MPs who barely speak English. It's incredible the amount of politics in one small, backward company. The rampant favoritism has contributed to an incredibly high turnover rate, in addition to the bad benefits, bad pay, and zero development. I can't stress this enough: if you are not in the "in" crowd, you're not getting promoted. Overall, Capco is bad for your wallet, bad for your resume, and, most of all, bad for you.
