Pros

* Strong culture, great and talented people, great opportunities and interesting work (if you can find it and know the right people) * Strong performance is recognised and rewarded - opportunities for promotion come twice a year, and if you can prove yourself, you will be promoted. * Brand is strong with clients in some areas like capital markets, technology and reg. * Really good compensation - above industry average (like your Big 4 and Accentures). * Always room to make a name for yourself and grow. * Capco really look after their employees. * Great work/life balance (although there are dependencies - see cons)

Cons

* Enagements tend to be longer than you would expect for a consultancy - not much variety - but it is also what you make of it. * Brand is not as recognised as much as it should be in fields like digital, where we are indeed strong with our capability and people (a lot of positive client feedback when we do get the work). Our brand recognition has thus, at times, hindered us in winning some interesting work and hiring and retaining some of the right talent. * Work/Life balance varies wildly from project to project, and is also dependent on the senior management you sit under. * A lot of boring and cheap work gets sold as it brings in revenue - which few people want to do. * (also a pro) - a lot depends on who you know internally to get good roles and further your career; but if youre a strong performer, this shouldnt concern you.

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.
