Vantaggi

They pay my salary on time. They pay higher than average salary Their office is in Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch

Svantaggi

The GROW program (moving abroad) has been scrapped last year yet they’ll still tell you that it exists. Over 70% of their clients are HSBC which is a body shop project. Lots of new staff are from Capgemini where the culture was clearly more cut throat and not focused on using consultants to the best of their skill set. Obsessive culture of trying to sell everything from massive change projects to just having someone sat there for the sake of it. #beyourselfatwork is clearly a marketing exercise as it’s not actually respected

We are disappointed to read your comments below. We have responded to each of your points, but we would also encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner to discuss your specific concerns and any suggestions. We take all feedback seriously and aim to continually improve the experience of our people at Capco. We believe strongly that people are at their best when they are happy and engaged at work. GROW – our global mobility program, GROW, remains fully operational (despite some rumors to the contrary). We aim to issue a communication shortly to clarify the position. Many employees have benefited from, and continue to benefit from, the opportunities available on GROW (an overseas secondment to another Capco office). All employees are eligible to participate in the program with manager support and if they can demonstrate a clear development need that will be addressed by a 12 month secondment to another location. As well as enhancing capability through ‘on the job’ learning, additional development will come from working in a different location and culture, with a different team. The program enables people to fully immerse themselves in a new location and culture so they can accelerate their development. It is one of the things that we think differentiates the firm, leveraging our global footprint for the benefit of our people. As well as supporting ‘One Capco’, GROW also visibly demonstrates our commitment to an inclusive culture (where each of us can ‘Be Yourself at Work’). Clients – we work with a growing and diverse portfolio of clients across the financial services industry. Some of these are well-established accounts such as the one you mention, however we also work with a growing pipeline of new clients and offer our employees a broad spectrum of work assignments. New Hires – Capco is growing fast and this year alone, we have hired a steady stream of new talent. These individuals come from a variety of backgrounds including large and small consulting organizations as well as industry. Our robust recruitment process is designed to help us assess if a candidate is a fit for the Capco culture in addition to their skills and experience. Projects – two of Capco’s values are Commitment and Integrity; our consultants are passionate about solving complex business problems and our goal is always to do what is right for the client, not necessarily what’s easiest. As a business we want to offer interesting, rewarding and innovative projects for our consultants – our projects vary in nature based on the clients needs, however we look to offer work assignments to our people which meets this criteria. Be Yourself At Work – this is an initiative originally developed by employees to recognize inclusion and celebrate individuality in the workplace. The initiative has always had senior leadership support and is now central to wider diversity and inclusion strategy.

Vantaggi

Lavoro vario con i clienti: diversi clienti e tipologie di progetti, il che rende il lavoro sempre interessante. Reale mobilità tra i progetti: puoi passare da un progetto all'altro se ti fai avanti (entro limiti ragionevoli). Leadership accessibile: i dirigenti senior sono disponibili al dialogo se li contatti. Buone risorse per lo sviluppo: molte opportunità di formazione e crescita se le sfrutti. Team solidi: i colleghi sono intelligenti, competenti e fantastici con cui lavorare. Ambiente imprenditoriale: le nuove idee sono incoraggiate e c'è spazio per prendere l'iniziativa.

Svantaggi

Orari di lavoro prolungati variabili a seconda del progetto: come per la maggior parte delle professioni, alcuni incarichi richiedono orari di lavoro prolungati, ma l'equilibrio tra vita professionale e privata dipende molto dal cliente e dal team. Responsabilità interne aggiuntive: a seconda del livello, può esserci una quantità significativa di lavoro di supporto all'azienda al di fuori della fornitura al cliente. Allineamento con il dominio non garantito: potresti non essere sempre assegnato a progetti che corrispondono alla tua competenza di dominio. Vincoli di allineamento del coaching: i rapporti di coaching sono legati al dominio, il che limita la flessibilità nella scelta di mentori formali. Incarichi lunghi (a volte): alcuni progetti si protraggono a lungo o prevedono più proroghe. Ciò può offrire stabilità, ma potrebbe ridurre la varietà nell'esperienza con clienti e progetti a seconda di ciò che stai cercando.
