Pros

-27 days of vacation for manager+ -There are some great people who get it

Cons

-No work/life balance due to unrealistic workloads, makes taking all that vacation and actually being on vacation incredibly difficult -Had rolling layoffs all year, then increased employee workloads/expectations -Some of the men (MPs and above), have issues working with strong, smart women -Toxic culture in how senior leadership treats people, especially in Canada -Old school FS culture

In Canada, we are proud to have one of our most gender-diverse leadership teams at Capco, and we continue to focus on building an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive, with Be Yourself At Work being a core value of Capco. Many of our employees share positive feedback on work-life balance and inclusion through our internal surveys, and this is also reflected in how we compare favorably to other organizations in our sector on Glassdoor.

Pros

- Good work-life balance - Nice people - Cool office (Empire State Building)

Cons

- Low raises + bonuses (promotions are highly political/based on who you know) - Low mobility on certain projects - Difficult to get involved in planning/helping with community events (part of performance review) - Leadership positions competitive rates as our differentiator (i.e., firm competes on cost rather than on technical depth/expertise relative to peer firms)
