Capco Response

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Capco offers comprehensive benefits to our employees. We’re glad to hear that these have been important to you. The figure you quoted on attrition is not correct, our attrition is nowhere near that level. Attrition has been at or below industry standards in Capco. There are many opportunities to progress and develop as we grow the firm and these factors contribute to the higher retention levels we enjoy. There are several ways in which people are recognized for their contributions. This is very important to us. Our structure is matrixed, with industry and capability domains. It is relatively flat which means employees have more direct access to senior leaders and more opportunity to make an impact. Our 401(k) plan is highly competitive with a significant match. Through the 401(k), our people can defer some of their income on a tax-deferred basis and benefit from earnings and a significant match. With regard to placement in roles, we have dedicated resourcing professionals who focus exclusively on finding suitable projects for consultants (mindful of both skills and personal development). The way we staff projects is inclusive and interactive. We encourage employees to share their interests in different types of work. Everyone has visibility of all available opportunities and people are free to apply directly for roles of interest to them. While we can’t always accommodate every request, we do make it a priority to place people in the roles they are seeking so they are highly motivated and will be successful. As the firm is enjoying rapid growth a broader range of opportunities are available to our employees. Please feel free to reach out to our Americas HR Lead, Mary Keller, to discuss your feedback and how we might best support you.

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
