What's It Like to Work at Capco?

What is your role, and what attracted you to Capco? Describe the moment when you knew you’d found the right fit.

I am the tech lead for the AI dev team. I decided to join Capco because of the quality of people I encountered during the hiring process who seemed to be very open-minded about talented people with a non-traditional tech background. I knew it was a good fit for me on my very first project — in truth, even during my orientation sessions. The scrum master didn’t care that I was self-taught or a junior. He assessed my work ethic and what I was capable of before adjusting my responsibilities accordingly.

What’s your favorite part about working at Capco? 

As long as I demonstrate effort and deliver high-quality work, I have a lot of flexibility. When presented with a problem, I have very wide latitude and freedom for how I come to the solution. If I present a viable idea, I am not only free to chase it but am actively encouraged to do so. The team we have built around AI is a highlight. We regularly get together in the office. We have fun, joke with each other and solve problems together. There’s a strong startup feel to how we work. 

When it comes to opportunities for growth, it is all about you. Capco doesn’t care about years or experience — they care about the specific talents that you have and what level of effort you put in. I can attest to this personally. A little over three years ago, I began teaching myself how to code. A year into that, Capco gave me an opportunity. My first project, understandably, was a junior quality assurance role. Soon, I was presenting ideas about AI, solutions to pressing problems and insights on team ethics in addition to being involved in a whole lot of problem-solving. Capco gave me recognition and credit every step of the way and put me out front, and today, I am an AI lead after only two years into the industry.
