Pros

Flat structured organisation which rewards those who are keen to progress and contribute to the firm Friendly and open colleagues who are willing to engage and assist where needed Wide range of client accounts with broadly interesting engagements Strong focus on emerging tech and trends across Financial Services Solid remuneration packages for consultancy UK Managing Partner is an asset to the firm

Cons

Personal experience is derived from the account your work on - some are long term and tend slightly more towards resource augmentation but this is true for all consultancies in the current climate Still a slight differentiation between 'old school Capco' and the newer joiners, as the firm has grown so aggressively over recent years, those who have been onboard for 5yrs+ are a tight knit (and often senior) group which is sometimes hard to penetrate

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.
