Pros

Great clients and flexibility across domains and capabilities.

Cons

You are expected to do community work which is essentially extra work beyond your project for roundtables. Its free labour and often stressful to handle with projects. Roundtables happen twice a year but are often rigged and do not comply with company policy of ratings. ratings are not tied to your performance but rather company's financial position, your last promotion date etc

Capco Response

We are pleased to hear that you enjoy many aspects of working at Capco, however some of your comments do not ring true. Community work provides an opportunity for employees to get involved in different areas of the business such as training, affinity groups, and CSR. This allows individuals to follow a passion, broaden their network, and develop new skills. A specific percentage of the overall performance assessment is directly linked to Community, which ensures that where an individual has made a contribution, this is recognized and rewarded. However, the majority of the performance assessment is always weighted towards performance in the individual’s core role. Contrary to your comments, ratings are based on an individual’s performance throughout the performance year. Ratings take into account stakeholder feedback and key achievements, and an individual’s performance is benchmarked against their peers in a roundtable to ensure a fair assessment. Where an individual was recently promoted to the next level, it is unlikely that they will receive the top rating in the following performance cycle, given that the performance expectations will have changed based on their new level as outlined in the competency framework.

No major complaints - but every role has some client-driven variability which comes with consulting

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.
