Pros

Decent hike from the last drawn paycheck - (but here’s the catch !! ) The management along with HR and finance in lieu of the most twisted policies make sure what ever you have earned in last few months adds up to Capco’s revenue or goes to their parties fund. Ohh yes Parties - its a pro for you if you are one of those shameless guys who are not affected by the count these people keep on number of beers or how much food you had last night.

Cons

Usually I prefer not to badmouth the organisations I have served but honestly Capco is one of those trap which I want to save you from if you are able to reach this review. Because most of the top reviews are fake, written by bunch of most useless HR or employees with no moral values. So here’s the list of con tricks performed on you after you join Capco because of- - the fake reviews posted - are in deep financial crisis - haven’t connected with current or ex-employee over linkedin People who are joining capco because you have connect with the management or are from family need not read ahead. Scam 1: Recruitment team forces you to join early citing requirement is urgent. Usually they look for early joiners who will not have enough time to do a background check of company and fall prey for the fake reviews and decent hike. Scam 2: No projects (even the previous clients were fedup dealing with the gold diggers sitting at top calling themselves management but are actually deceivers) Around 70% of the people you see around will be on bench, without project preparing for job interviews. The new joiners during the initial week will be given fake assurance of tons of projects in pipeline. Scam 3: Certification and Training Recently the mastermind policy makers have come up with new ways of generating revenue for Capco. Looting employees by providing training and forcing them to do certification. As soon as you do a training you are bounded by a year contract which is kept secret untill you plan to resign after having enough of Capco. The day you submit your resignation you will receive a complete list of dues pending on your name. Don’t be surprised if it comes close to your 6 months salary. Scam 4: Onsite - employee retention cum torture program If you are one of those unlucky fellow who gets into project, you are threatened to travel onsite at the cost of your job eventually subscribing to atleast one more year of torture in Capco As soon as you travel- - The jobless HR team gets the work, they will keep updating your due register with be it your travel ticket, stay at onsite or per-diem. - you can not resign untill 6 months even if you travel for 15 days So eventually 15 days of onstite means you can not leave capco on your wish for minimum 9 months including notice period. If you are still not convinced and are planning to join Capco go through all wrongdoing employee goes through eventually resigning- - Arrogant Head/ Leadership Although people sitting on top and proliferating arrogance can’t be called management/leadership. These top people be it from management or HR in their small world think themselves as dictator and run company on their own terms. One day you have some policy and from next day a new policy is introduced just because one person thinks so. Literally you will get threats of firing for even a small mistake. Freshers are treated as if they have no say and have to folllow what ever comes to them. The entire management thinks they are doing charity by giving salary to employee. - Firing in the name of Cost Cutting People will never know when is their last day in Capco. One day you come to office with you lunch box packed but who knows you have to take it back and finish it at home. The uncalculative management does irrational calculations and hire people without knowing actual requirement increasing the bench strength, and then fire people on their will with no proper justification. Seriously if you want to grow with mental peace of mind avoid joining Capco for few extra bucks. Even you will be forced to keep your family second priority (cases like person though on paternity leave was called to office and on refusal was threatened to fire). HR are big time loosers and follow blindly what management tells. A real life puppets.

While we are pleased to read your comment regarding compensation, your review paints a picture of Capco that we just do not recognize. We are disappointed and concerned by your perceptions based on your experience of working at our firm. Some of your comments raise concerns which we will review internally and take action if required. However, we cannot agree with many of your comments, for example, Capco could not have experienced the growth and success that it has with the low levels of billability and high bench that you reference. As always, if any employees have concerns or suggestions they would like to share at any time, please reach out to your local HR representative or our Global HR Director, David Heffernan to discuss. We can assure you that any concerns or feedback will be listened to and taken seriously.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
