What is the culture like, type of work and reputation of Capco in the Data & Analytics space?
I have some good ex colleagues who moved over there and also looked up on LinkedIn and see lots of seemingly smart and accomplished people in their D&A team in the UK.
I'll ask my ex colleagues too, but wanted to see if people here have any opinion or information on this too.
TIA
Christmas line up. Cheers to all!

FYI: they call TDE "transformation", but it's actually PMO. The practice used to be called Program Management until it got rebranded recently. While there's a lesser focus on pure play PMO after the rebrand, the majority of practitioners have only done PMO their whole careers, so you may be stuck doing PMO too. If you know your PMO, you'll get into TDE
@Manager 2
Thinking through what the recruiter said when I asked if the role is technical, she said the role “design like journey mapping.” Not sure if that helps to align me to an offering with the practice?
To increase your odds, I would recommend thinking beyond PMO, because that's not what the group is trying to be.
Help connect how you helped an organization, team, client, etc. transform in the past with what you can do for EY and their clients. Doing just PMO isn't enough. That will get you in the mix but not put you at the top of the pack.
If you managed a project plan, tracked action items, made fancy ppts, and hounded analysts, developers, and architects for their updates so you can create status reports ... That won't do it.
Did you change how they did business? How they made decisions? Increase accuracy of inputs for making decisions? Did you implement a solution? How did you make it happen?
You don't have to singlehandedly mastermind and execute it all. But show how you understand what components made it successful or should thave been done to be successful. Which role did you play, etc.
I guess also depends on what level you are in too.
Source: am in TDE.
I personally have worked on projects for the the past 5+ years in this group. (across multiple clients and projects). 100% of them are not staff aug/"PMO" projects.
However there may be differences between regions, partners, etc. So I can't guarantee you there is no PMO staff aug.
As someone else mentioned the group recently changed it's name to TDE. I assume that means it's a strategic focus to do transformation design and execution. And sounds like they are hiring heavily.
I would say it's perfectly reasonable to share the concern that you do not want to do staff aug. Ask about the ratio of staff aug to true transformation design in the group. And what your specific role would likely fall under.
I continue to think it would be foolish for leadership to actively try to bait and switch a candidate as that would lead to a disgruntled employee. Disgruntled employees are a negative multiplier that would bring down teams.
It won't be 100% fantasy perfect role/project. Every project will include project administration (regardless if you are in this group or not). But if you happen to join any of my projects or the projects my colleagues are on. None of them are staff aug that I'm aware of. Can't speak for everyone as I don't know everyone and every project.
I just did the HireVue over the weekend for a strategy role. There’s practice questions at the beginning but then the actual recording didn’t have any of those same questions 😂 feel free to DM if you want to hear my experience with it
Also, the reason you weren’t able to find much online is because this process was just rolled out fairly recently. Some people I know that were just onboarded were the last to not have to do this recorded stuff
@OP, I do what you want to do for a top tier firm. PMO-like things, or project management, solution design and delivery is far from it. I'd suggest looking elsewhere (within EY if you'd like) for it.
EY1 have had too much kool aid.
Hi all, appreciate you for responding to my post! As a follow up, can you share what the target salary is? I was thinking $150k but I don’t want to sell myself short if it’s typically more.
@Manager 3 thank you! This is really helpful.
Hi OP, congrats on interviewing with EY. I'm curious what EY offered and have you made a decision yet?
Hello. I have not interviewed yet.
I have the case study/super day interviews next week. It’s all about PMO
Hey Author, I backed out of it. Am not interested in that type of work. Best of luck though! Hope it went well for you
