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

Asking employees to give feedback and not acting on it. You can’t possibly fix everything, so pick the areas with the most impact. Of course it’s easy to tackle the low hanging fruit for a quick win. But, you have to work on the bigger initiatives as well. It may just be baby steps to start. Plus, you must communicate what you learned from the survey and point out what you are doing to make improvements. Otherwise employees will think their voice went unheard and they won’t say anything again. So communicate back the steps you will take to make an improvement.

That's two different things -- engagement *scores* and engagement *initiatives.* The initiatives should be informed by the scores, which shows that the company is listening to the issues that the employees bring up in the *surveys*. Doing the surveys and then doing nothing with the information provided in them is a waste of everyone's time, and eventually you will have at most 25% of employees -- probably new employees who haven't seen the BS in the past -- complete the surveys.
HR can't improve the scores. Line management is responsible for improving the scores. HR can work WITH line management to develop initiatives that address the employees' concerns, but, and I'm a broken record here, HR does NOT have any power to improve engagement per se.
I really wish line managers would understand that the word "manager" has a freaking VERB in it!
Agreed
It can fail for many reasons, but in my experience the biggest issue is when they want better engagement scores without genuinely addressing the root causes identified. Surveys provide the data, but meaningful action is what drives engagement.

I have seen this happen a lot. Engagement work fails when it treats symptoms instead of causes. No initiative fixes poor leadership or unrealistic workload.
