Capco Reviews

Thank you for your great review and we are delighted to hear that you are enjoying your first few months at Capco!

Your review really sums up many of the great things about our firm and we are very excited to be opening new offices as you mention including Charlotte, DC and Stockholm. Your review is very helpful to give those considering joining the firm a real insight into your own experiences.

As you mention, Capco is undergoing a transition period and while a lot of work has already gone into this, some of these things take time. Ultimately however, this will put the firm, and our people in a better position as we introduce policies, processes and systems which align to Capco's culture and needs.

We wish you the best of luck in your Capco career!... MoreLess

We are very sorry to read your feedback and have already picked up the issues you have raised with the recruitment team.

It is not acceptable to us if the team was unresponsive. The team are encouraged to explore alternative openings if someone does not have the required experience or capability for a role, however this should be presented as another opportunity, rather than an alternative to the original position.

We are comfortable that these issues have now been resolved and that the usual high standards for our recruitment process are in place. If you would like like a meeting with our Head of Recruitment to discuss the process or to explore alternative positions, please contact Joanne Lee.... MoreLess

Thank you for your review and we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time at Capco. There are indeed lots of opportunities to develop and progress in the firm and our employees are rewarded very competitively for this. We do hire people from all backgrounds and our people work on a variety of projects in the financial services sector - we feel that this diversity in the workforce contributes to making our company culture unique and Capco the great firm that it is.... MoreLess

Thank you for your review and we're delighted to hear that you enjoy working at Capco!

One of the many things which employees tell us they appreciate at Capco is the autonomy and empowerment to drive their careers and it's great to hear you have experienced this. In addition, there is a strong support network in the firm for people at all levels through coaching, managers, HR, communities and events. It is important to the firm that people are able to be themselves at work, have the freedom to own their career and the right support to make this happen.

Thank you for your contribution to the Capco team!... MoreLess

We would like to respond to the points you raise in your review:

1. Your comments on salary and bonus are incorrect and at odds with many of the reviews on this forum. Our bonuses in March typically delivered 10-15% - for our highest performers, some received payments of 20% plus for exceptional performance. Our promotion increases are also generous and we regularly benchmark our compensation in the market, including against the Big 4, to ensure that we remain competitive.

2. Capco is a meritocracy. Our performance management process promotes a holistic view of performance. All rating and promotion decisions are based on feedback from key stakeholders and hard business measures, and validated in roundtable discussions where challenge and debate are encouraged.

3. The firm hosts a variety of employee events including town halls, industry-specific events, summer parties and CSR events. All events held outside working hours are optional and many employees joining Capco enjoy the variety of events on offer which help them to develop their knowledge, build their network and have fun with their colleagues.

We are disappointed to hear that you feel this way as a current employee and would strongly encourage you to speak with your coach, manager, HR or a member of the leadership team to discuss your specific concerns.... MoreLess

Thanks for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoy working at Capco and appreciate the many benefits. The firm works hard to ensure that employees are placed in roles which align to their skill set as well as career aspirations. Occasionally employees are placed in a role which may not be an exact fit based on business needs , however on those occasions we always strive to maintain an open dialogue to ensure that an individual can move to a more suitable role as soon as possible. We would encourage any employee in this situation to speak with their manager, coach, HR business partner, resourcing and/or a member of the leadership team.

Thanks for your continued contribution to Capco!... MoreLess

1. The firm is a meritocracy. Our performance management process promotes a holistic view of performance that also ensures recognition for contribution outside the strict confines of a role. All promotion decisions are made and approved by a number of people, based on feedback from key stakeholders and hard business measures, and validated in roundtable discussions (where robust challenge and debate are encouraged).

2. There are a wide-range of development opportunities in the firm. Unsurprisingly, for a firm founded on the skills of its people we invest significantly in all aspects of development. We have over 40 classroom-based training courses available for Senior Consultants in technical, personal and leadership development. These include training developed specifically for individuals at your grade (including Senior Consultant school, Consulting 201, PMP, Project Management 201, Coaching Skills and Management in a Day). In addition, a learning library gives access to a variety of training materials, podcasts and reading materials for self-development. Capco also offers co-funding for employees to pursue external training. We sponsor development secondments to other Capco offices and also invest in coaching so that people can develop through ‘on the job’ development.

3. Your claims on salary, promotion and bonus are just plain wrong (and also at odds with your positive comments on pay generally). Our promotion increases are generous and to ensure fairness, we promote all staff onto the same salary on promotion (which can mean significant uplifts). Our bonuses in March typically delivered 10-15% to strong performers at your level, whilst some received payments of 20% plus for exceptional performance.

4. We have seen a 10% reduction in turnover since 2016. As with compensation, the firm currently compares favorably with our competitors on retention rates. Talented people are choosing to build a rewarding career at Capco and are competitively rewarded and given access to a range of development when they do so.... MoreLess
