Pros
Capco offers a variety of ways to contribute to the firm's growth and success, and unmatched access to leadership and decisionmakers (getting time on calendars is easier here than anywhere I've been). There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to career development and if you're ambitious, you can create your own journey. Although we're a niche firm, primarily focused on the financial services industry, the diversity of projects across our domains and solutions, along with internal contribution work, keeps things interesting. Above all, the people at Capco are smart, helpful and kind. Our #beyourselfatwork culture sets the tone for inclusion, and there is an expectation that people are able to be their authentic selves at work. Shape-shifting and codeswitching aren't required to be successful here. Senior leaders are committed to improving diversity at the firm and are both open and receptive to feedback around how to improve.
Cons
Capco's culture and pace can certainly feel a bit daunting for those who aren't as extroverted or outspoken, or who need more time to prepare and process. The nimble, "it-is-what-you-make-it" gray areas of the firm can be confusing, and there's also more we could do to invest in learning opportunities for our people. And as with most roles and firms, there's more work to do than time.
