Pros

-20 days leave -not much really

Cons

-Exposure limited to one client- -Management/resourcing/HR tend to mislead by omission, you will be taken advantage of if you seem like an easy target. Incompetent ops staff. Don’t get me started on the Indian team -very hierarchical, you’re only treated as a person if you’re an expat, principal consultant and above -caliber of consultants not on par with their titles. - very political, people will throw you under the bus just to look good, very petty culture -Take the good reviews with a grain of salt. I was asked to write a review in my first week of joining to boost the scores

Capco Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback, however we are disappointed to read your comments. As you will be aware, we have a new leader in our Hong Kong business who has extensive experience of both Capco and the industry. He recently shared his strategy and vision with employees, which includes expanding into new areas and clients, while maintaining a focus on our key clients. He also set out a clear agenda around our people, including more diverse career and learning and development opportunities, along with a commitment to greater communication and transparency around the region’s vision and goals among other things. I would encourage employees to take the time to read through this update, and if there are any questions or suggestions to reach out to a member of the leadership team, Mar Alvarez, APAC HR Lead or David Heffernan, Global HR Lead. You will find that the team is very open to hearing your suggestions and feedback.

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.
