Pros

The internal company culture is great and very supportive of employee's personal interests.

Cons

With regard to the client projects, there is often a misalignment between what Capco markets itself as ( Cutting edge financial technology consultation) and the majority of projects Capco actually lands (Back office regulatory staff augmentation).

Thank you for your review. It's good to hear that you enjoy the company culture at Capco, and the opportunity to pursue your interests through Capco's community activities. As a firm, Capco is very open to hearing new ideas from employees to help shape the firm, and many of our people are involved in supporting a variety of internal initiatives including CSR, training, recruitment and celebration events. Regarding your comments on the types of projects available, as a firm, we offer a variety of work assignments across the financial services sector. At times an individual may find themselves in a role which is not completely aligned to their career aspirations, and where this is the case they are encouraged to speak with their Coach, HR representative and/or a member of the Leadership team. Where a transition to a different role is possible, we will support this and where this is not immediately the case, the individual's Coach and Manager can help to identify development opportunities within the role. Thanks for your continued contribution to Capco!

Pros

Varied client work — Different clients and project types, which keeps things interesting. Real project mobility — You can move between projects when you advocate for yourself (within reason). Approachable leadership — Senior leaders are open to conversations if you reach out. Good development resources — Plenty of training and growth opportunities if you take advantage of them. Strong teams — Colleagues are smart, capable, and great to work with. Entrepreneurial environment — New ideas are encouraged, and there’s room to take initiative.

Cons

Long hours vary by project — Like most any professional job, some engagements require extended hours for prolonged periods, but work–life balance really depends on the client and team. Additional internal responsibilities — Depending on level, there can be a significant amount of firm‑support work outside of client delivery. Domain alignment not guaranteed — You may not always be staffed on projects that match your domain expertise. Coaching alignment constraints — Coaching relationships are tied to domain, which limits flexibility in choosing formal mentors. Long engagements (sometimes) — Some projects run for long durations or through multiple extensions. It can provides stability but may reduce variety in client and project experience depending on what you’re looking for.
