Not a consultancy, we don’t make any difference, we just smile, say ‘yes of course’ and invoice
Reaktion von Capco

We are disappointed to read your feedback. Capco is a leading global consultancy that offers value to a large range of financial services clients and we proudly partner with some of the largest financial institutions around the world. We routinely win business against much larger consultancies, and we have had strong and sustained grow in recent years, expanded our geographic footprint and secured our position as an independent firm. We could not have accomplished this without establishing strong relationships with our clients.
Capco is one of the few companies who regularly review and openly respond to the feedback on Glassdoor. We do this because we understand that we can become a better employer and offer our people an even more rewarding career and experience. In recent years we have made changes to our performance management platform, training agenda, recruitment processes and leadership development amongst other things, directly in response to the feedback we have received. If you are dissatisfied with your project or current job role, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your coach or local HR Leader to discuss.
Capco has a friendly culture where people like to win together. A solid meritocracy that is expertise focused, and growth oriented with approachable leaders and plenty of opportunities for advancement.
Kontras
Employees should be self-motivated (which for me is a plus), but being a smaller company it does lack clear and standard documentation routines. There is no one-size fits all career map, which allows self-starters to succeed and rise quickly in the organization.
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.
Kontras
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.
