Pros

There are some great people at Capco

Cons

Promotions and performance ratings are too strict. You have people working super hard, contributing lots, and still getting passed-off for promotions. This leads to many people leaving Capco, which adds more cost recruitment and on-boarding cost to Capco. This also negatively impacts the morale and motivation of current Capco employees.

Thank you for your review. It is correct to say that we have a robust performance review and promotion process to ensure all colleagues receive a fair assessment and have the opportunity to develop and progress within the firm. As you will know we offer two promotion cycles per year to allow colleagues the opportunity to move up to the next level once they meet the promotion criteria, regardless of tenure. However, promotions are only one of the ways in which we recognize and reward outstanding performance, and in order for someone to be promoted we need to ensure that they fully meet the promotion criteria so that they are set up for success and are able to deliver at the next level. That said, we have continued to promote many colleagues who meet the promotion criteria over the past few years, even during the more challenging periods of the pandemic and economic downturn, when many of our competitors paused promotions. If you would like to discuss your feedback further, please reach out to your HR Business Partner.

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.
