Capco Employee Reviews & Ratings

Worst place I have worked in 35 years. Boys club is so evident as is nepotism and favoritism. I was told in interview that promotion is based on meritocracy but in reality that is really not the case. They promote their friends who are men! Anyway if it can be avoided dont bother to work here - they knock your confidence, they only work on BAU projects - no consulting unless you are lucky and they dumb you down by training in house which isnt always passing on the correct knowledge.

No cons to contribute -

Less pressure and less opportunities

One can't always get at the project one would like to engage themselves within. You may be ordered to do a different project than something you specialise in; ordered is the key word.

Nothing I can think of.

Mobility around roles not as flexible as advertised

Unethical Bias Hr lacks integrity

Some unreasonable client expectations put on. Consultants

Capco pays less than other consulting firms with comparable job functions/responsibilities.

No cons identified for now

Cant think of any cons.

None that I can think of

Have to be in the office 3 days a week

Could be better communication around the round table processes

its very project based so you can get screwed

It is project based. So, you will have to wait to get relevant projects and alignment takes some time

Unfortunately more often than not those individuals band together against Capco leadership, which in recent year seems to have soured. The culture has slowly become very cliquey, and upper management has made a habit of micro-managing teams and using borderline abusive language if individuals disagree with their way of doing things. Before I left I wasn't able to send an email without manager approval, even after having successfully led teams of previous projects. It really soured the experience and ultimately led to my departure.

- When there is no projects, it is somehow the fault of the consultant, when it should fall on account leads. - You are encouraged to reach out to account managers, who then complain when you do. - Pipeline is a joke, they have nothing - You cannot trust a number of senior people, they are all cowards and really need to look at themselves and take the blame for the failure of the project .

Average in most aspects, nothing noteworthy

Projects are too long, so it is not really consulting

bonus, increment too low, promotion is hard

I don't think there are any con's

Global leadership is not transparent in steering the company

very bad management, given the PMO is bad

Very hard to get a good project, HR management needs to be improved

Overworked and undervalued, to much focus placed on culture bonding

The CEO's obsession with staying ahead of the curve led to a culture of constant upheaval, where employees were expected to constantly adapt to new methodologies and technologies. This rapid pace of change, coupled with a lack of adequate training and support, left many employees feeling overwhelmed and disillusioned. The company's broken systems and processes only exacerbated the problem, creating an environment where mistakes were punished and creativity was stifled. In the end, I felt like I was just another cog in a machine, my expertise and experience were valued less than my ability to adapt to the latest trends.

Unfortunately there is not company car park

Nothing at the moment to specify

The organizational culture here prioritizes performance metrics excessively, often pushing staff to their limits with non-client-related tasks if they are not on an actively billable client project. Recognition for one's efforts is rare, and the workload frequently extends into weekends, leaving one with a perpetual sense of inadequacy. Advancement opportunities appear largely dependent on fortunate placement in long-term projects or close relationships with senior management. If your coach is indifferent or you lack a personal connection, your career progression within the company may be at risk, as there's only one individual advocating for you during evaluations. Despite assurances from top leadership about the cessation of staff reductions, layoffs continue surreptitiously, becoming apparent only when colleagues cease to appear in our digital workspace. There's a notable lack of candor in communications, creating an environment where employees feel kept in the dark about the company's actual agenda. What once was a thriving workplace has now seen a significant decline in staff morale, reaching an all-time low.

Pay is a bit below market rate

Capco benefits from their employees bringing in contract opportunities, so if networking isn't your thing, this may not be for you.

admin work takes longer times and is a little unorganized

Slow career Progression Low Salaries

Due to working in client's environment, capco's identity sometimes get shadowed

Growing out of the office space

Wipro acquisition was not beneficial

Hard to get a promo if you are on multiple projects (due to promo cycle). Bonus could be better.

Slow progress, despite high performance, will hardly get you promoted because seniority counts more than excellence.

Nothing as of now. No cons as such.

Two rounds of voluntary redundancies in 2023 and not a lot of job security

The clients come first. You don't get to roll off a project if it's a toxic client.

Low salary and slow career progression

Long hours / long days are the norm.

Bodyshopping roles, client opportunities concentrated in one or two big accounts, promotion based on who you are mates with and if there is "space" for you rather than performance

in SG hire foreigners into leadership roles all offices promote favourites VS most competent no clear operating model, regularly use unethical practices to stop you getting support (the COO has misled multiple people)

not so transparent performance review process

People think too highly of themselves, especially mid level people or lower level partners. The highest ranking partners are pretty nice and chill.

Not consistent on performance reviews Inner workings of company are failing

wish I joined years ago
