- Does not care for quality of delivery, Just want to push things and somehow make it work.
- People are just like that promoted.
- Managers do not solve the problem instead create political problems.
- A lot of politics at all levels.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop acting like an Ostrich in times when you need to act and resolve the issues.

A great start to my career, got to learn a lot of new things.

Associate (Current Employee)
Bangalore

I have been working at Capco full-time for less than a year

ProsCapco provides a techno-functional role to an individual. The packages in which Capco majorrly works, murex and openlink, have very few consultants across the globe. So that gives a key strength to our career.

ConsNone, i think, as of now

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep getting good projects with great clients, and give us chances to interact with them the way you do now.

– I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Finally a great place to work at!

Consultant (Current Employee)
Bangalore

I have been working at Capco full-time for less than a year

ProsNumerous perks, small and close-knit teams, lots of parties, easily accessible upper management, fun atmosphere, cool hardware to work with.

ConsProject requires extra working hours, not many indoor facilities, limited recreational options, project has reduced my skill-set from my previous work experience.

Advice to Senior ManagementYou shouldn't tax the employees with extra work on a regular basis, otherwise the perks given won't hold for long in retaining an employee.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

"Boutique consulting" Not For Everyone Though

Principal Consultant (Current Employee)
New York, NY (US)

I have been working at Capco full-time for more than 3 years

ProsCapco has a true entrepreneurial culture. If you are one of those who needs hand holding at every stage STAY AWAY!!. You are joining a management consulting and not a Big 4 Advisory practice so you need to on top of your game all year round.

(1) Pay better than the big 4. Check out Glassdoor salary surveys for yourself.
(2) Bonus structure similar to FS Companies.
(3) Generous Vacation Days. Best in the industry
(4) Vacation Bonus. You get $1000 bonus if you take 2 consecutive weeks of vacation :)
(5) 10k/Year Training budget for every employee to take external training
(6) True meritocracy, Performance review 2 times a year. so you do not wait an additional year to get promoted if you came close the last cycle.

Cons(1) Since the Capco is small projects are concentrated around a couple of key accounts.
(2) Job stability can be an issue if you do not build an internal network soon enough.
(3) Lot of Travel. Most of the project are in Mid-Tier cities.

Advice to Senior ManagementGreat Job!! Hire partners who can bring in a big book of business with them.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
