Pros

- The people are generally sociable and fun to be around. - Modern Offices.

Cons

Most of the negative reviews here are too emotional but they raise many accurate and fair points. I think Capco would go a long way to reducing this ill-will and negative sentiment among employees (current and former) if it simply prescribed to telling the truth throughout the hiring process. The main issue I see is that management actively plays the company up as a worthy competitor to the big and reputable consulting firms out there but really 90% of what it has to offer is pure staff augmentation/body shopping/changesourcing - whatever you want to call it. That's not to say these projects don't exist at other firms; it's just that they have the appropriate scale required for their employees that signed up as CONSULTANTS to be staffed on CONSULTING projects, and their MANAGED SERVICES folks to work on the steady cash-flow, temp resourcing engagements.

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)
