Svantaggi

A few of my colleagues were laid off earlier this year and I was laid off before them. I get that the economy is in depression now, but there are much more constructive ways to deal with those issues like pivoting, reducing hours/salary, delegating resources, doing temporary layoffs. This company is basically a stack of cards waiting to collapse, lacking financial strength and not meeting targets. - Expect ridiculously long project work cycle hours (16+ hour days) - you can't look after yourself and your family - Leadership is too young, inexperienced - like a startup with cool aid thinking - Leadership is dishonest - Chris Ford lied through his teeth about not downsizing - Politics are rampant especially after poorly chosen projects get cancelled prematurely - They waste time hosting silly, pointless internal events and then post them online instead of supporting billable hours

Risposta di Capco
6y
The unprecedented business environment in which we operate currently has placed significant additional pressures on all companies and most are taking remedial action in the form of redundancies or cuts in pay or hours, particularly in the smaller firms. At Capco, we have sought to act quickly, where necessary, to protect our business and ensure it is positioned appropriately for future growth and success. The speed at which we have acted to identify and address issues has, so far, mitigated against significant change in the business and supported business continuity. Nevertheless a small number of changes have been necessary and we have sought to manage these openly and with sensitivity and ensure those affected are properly supported. The positive feedback on pay and conditions at Capco indicates we have succeeded to some degree, at least. Your comments on leadership are unfair and untrue. It is only by leaders facing up to difficult decisions in an extremely challenging situation that we are able to protect our people, clients and the business for the future. We will make no apologies for undertaking this responsibility with fortitude and in the best interests of the firm as a whole. A relatively young leadership operating in a flat hierarchy enables us to be innovative and entrepreneurial in our response to Covid -19 but not dishonest. We have followed the advice of the WHO, government and health authorities to the letter in formulating our response and been open and honest with our people at all stages. We have shifted our focus to ensure work is profitable, sustainable and staffed appropriately ensuring our employees are as protected as possible in these difficult times.

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.
