Vantaggi

- Great entry point, foot in door of financial services - People generally approachable - Pay is not bad - Free Sprite

Svantaggi

- Rapid growth has resulted in lowering of overall standard of employees hired - Cliquey culture. You have to be in with the right people to progress (consistent feedback on this site, yet continually denied in the Capco Response) - Very little real consultancy work. It's staff augmentation - High risk of being stuck on a single engagement for a long time - Staff often left out on their own on client site, and forgotten about - Coaching system does not work. At all. - Massive staff turnover - Highly competitive & political. A lot of very senior people don't even like each other - Not interested in feedback or to improve anything (just read some of the Capco Responses on this site to see this illustrated. The usual trite company lines get wheeled out). - Perception of brand in the market (by clients) is low - Over-reliant on small amount of large accounts

It is true that rapid growth has led to some changes in the firm, though these are less about a cliquey culture and more about the standardization of policies across the firm. Our One Capco agenda has now delivered a wide range of firm-wide policies and programs on mobility, performance management and training, to ensure that all staff across the globe are treated fairly and consistently. Central to these provisions is the right to understand the decisions that relate to you. Promotions in particular are monitored carefully and subject to review by a range of stakeholders to ensure it is about ‘what you contribute, not who you know’. There are a wide range of projects across the firm and, if you feel that you are ignored, you can talk to your coach, manager, HR contact or resourcing specialist. It makes no sense for the firm to have talented people in roles that don’t motivate and engage. We are always eager to match projects to career plans and development. Turnover is consistent with other consultancies competing for talent, and has improved significantly in the last 18 months. Leadership is increasingly diverse and inclusive. Importantly, leadership forums are a place where disagreement will occur from time to time and challenge is encouraged, but we see this as a sign of healthy leadership. Brand awareness of Capco has never been so high and we have recently undertaken a refresh of our website to better reflect our services and offerings to clients. The fact that we respond to reviews like this on Glassdoor indicates that we acknowledge and respond to feedback and look to improve the employee experience. In contrast, most of our competitors don’t respond to comments on this forum. We encourage you to raise your concerns with you manager or HR rather than via this forum, so that the firm has the chance to make improvements. If you are open to a confidential discussion, please reach out to Neil Hunsworth in the HR team.

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.
