- The office environment is nice but you will sit in a cramped picnic table environment where you have no personal space. The offices are reserved for the popular crowd (aka "leaders" @ CapTech)
- Marketing hype and external brand portrayals of the company have no reflection on the reality inside
- Client work is not valued, internal "relationship building" is. You can be exceptional consulting for your client, and even lauded by them. Yet you will not go far at CapTech unless you are connected to the right leader and focus on that relationship. Client reviews are never conducted, as an example of the fact that there is no value held on their perspective of your performance.
- Promotions are subjective, popularity based, and political. The reason these keep coming up in Glassdoor reviews is because it is so rampant and frustrating. The Charlotte office is one of the largest and has a very low promotion rate. Of those that are promoted it's typical a "popular buddy" of a "leader" who is on their third promotion in two years. Meanwhile employees with 3+ years of tenure that deliver excellent work for their client sit in limbo trying to navigate an ever moving target of criteria to move to the next level.
- Anyone of the leaders in the Charlotte office would not make it past the interview process of any of the Big 4. If you work with one of them you will quickly notice novice mistakes that you would never see even at the Manager level of the Big 4, yet at CapTech they are Directors and above running projects.
- As others have mentioned, it's like a Frat House or High School. Popular cliques are in charge and make all of the key decisions affecting lives and careers around them. This equates to talented people being underutilized and eventually leaving as they have consistently been passed over for opportunities, promotions, or are just tired of the environment.
- HR is laughable in that complaints and concerns raised to them go absolutely nowhere.
