Pros

Some great people, but getting fewer. Cool office.

Cons

As most of the other reviews have said, Capco is incredibly cliquey and despite once having a clear strategy to become a true consultancy has now gone completely off the rails. The work is mostly bodyshopping with little attention paid to a persons skills and no understanding of developing propositions to take to market, they simple do whatever they are told - pure bodyshopping. Despite this, there is constant noise about how "innovative" the company is with multiple emails from management trying to reinforce this. The truth - there has been zero innovation in action in the company with the exception of people using brighter colours in presentation. The lack of leadership is shocking, with the partners each in their own world and no common vision.

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.
