Honestly, it's just snobbery and misguided expectations of what consulting work is - even if it's staff aug you should be able to do it better than any perm they could hire into the role.

Big 4 consultants feel special because they can look down on the auditors.

Accn get to look down on the offshore technology guys.

I have been in consulting for sixteen years I have heard crappy things about every company out there - I won't name them, but you know who you are. Don't rely on rumor to make a decision - put your name in the hat and talk to the company. Make your assessment ,make your decision. If you like what you see - go for it. If it doesn't work out, move on.
The job is what YOU make of it.

Haha I agree it's a poor name. Their nickname in the industry is "Crapco"

Pros: They pay well, and they have a strong set of financial services clients (GS, MS, RBC, DB, etc). Their biggest office is also in London if you ever want to transfer internationally.

Cons: Almost all staff aug work (primarily back office operations and IT). Most people who work there only see a client or two over several years. If you’re good it’s typically beneficial to stay on an account because promos are assessed account by account. They have a “strategy” practise but it’s small, and a lot of them don’t actually end out doing strategy work.

How do I get hired by a good company like you? I feel like it's never going to happen for me 😔

ya, avoid.

There is a consulting bowl you should ask this to

Sorry, I just realized I was in the covid bowl, my bad lol

Like others have said, mostly does staff aug PMO type work in the banking industry.

Not a terrible place to work if that’s what you like to do.

Like many lower tier firms, no training, and not structured well for development like the bigger firms.

I say this having 2 ex Capco people on my current engagement 😁

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
