Pros

Ahead of the local market in terms of remuneration. Good exposure for various banking projects.

Cons

Obviously Malaysian market is not their focus. The MD for Malaysia changed 3 times in few years. It gives you the impression that Malaysian office is isolated and neglected on its own. All corporate services are based out of one country which is lack of transperancy and accountability. Travel, Account, Finance, IT, and HR are all managed together. It's good for cost saving but bad for local employee engagement especially when you are planning adhoc traveling during the weekend and requires IT support. Last one might be natural to consultancy but the Malaysian consultant felt they are more like a service centre for rest of APAC. Colleagues from other countries may request works to be delivered(adhoc if you are on bench) but no sharing/feedback/updates on the works delivered as if they are totally cut off after their ideas being considered.

Pros

Capco has a friendly culture where people like to win together. A solid meritocracy that is expertise focused, and growth oriented with approachable leaders and plenty of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Employees should be self-motivated (which for me is a plus), but being a smaller company it does lack clear and standard documentation routines. There is no one-size fits all career map, which allows self-starters to succeed and rise quickly in the organization.
