Pros

- The people are generally sociable and fun to be around. - Modern Offices.

Cons

Most of the negative reviews here are too emotional but they raise many accurate and fair points. I think Capco would go a long way to reducing this ill-will and negative sentiment among employees (current and former) if it simply prescribed to telling the truth throughout the hiring process. The main issue I see is that management actively plays the company up as a worthy competitor to the big and reputable consulting firms out there but really 90% of what it has to offer is pure staff augmentation/body shopping/changesourcing - whatever you want to call it. That's not to say these projects don't exist at other firms; it's just that they have the appropriate scale required for their employees that signed up as CONSULTANTS to be staffed on CONSULTING projects, and their MANAGED SERVICES folks to work on the steady cash-flow, temp resourcing engagements.

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.
