Why Capco?

You want a job that will embrace your curiosity, grow your skills and put you on the forefront of innovation. Problem is, the market today is full of companies who talk about innovation but have little ability to actually do it. Innovation has become so ubiquitous, save for one space...the financial sector. In this space, the traditional approaches are now obsolete. One hundred years of consulting and marketing are gone. Alternative approaches already adopted by those outside finance aren't a novelty, they're all they've got left.
