Pros

The office in Old Street is nice, reasonable salary.

Cons

Overcomplicated system security created enormous admin overhead; poor mentorship; limited advancement opportunities depending on the role; need to have no family responsibilities in order to make full use of internal networking (lots of evening socials).

Thank you for your feedback. Many employees choose to work at and remain with Capco due to the opportunities that we offer for fast career progression based on outstanding performance. We offer promotion opportunities twice per year, and our ‘no time in grade’ policy removes the need to spend a set amount of time at a specific title level before employees are considered for promotion. In addition, we offer robust internal learning and development and mentorship programs, and encourage our employees to work with their coach, manager and the resourcing team to identify roles that will help them learn and grow their careers. We understand that sometimes an individual is placed in a role which may not be an exact fit due to business and client demands. However, wherever that is the case, we will always try to ensure that the individual has the support required to succeed in that role and to prepare them for their next move. As for your comment on system security - given the nature of consulting and our client work, we do maintain strict system security protocols to ensure client confidentiality and comply with regulatory systems. If you would like to share any specific feedback or suggestions around management, coaching or training then please reach out to our UK HR Lead, Neil Hunsworth.

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.
