Pros

The Denver office is full of talented, hardworking people that are also humble and genuinely care about the success of one another and our clients. Lots of work-sponsored volunteer events and social hours with people I actually like hanging out with. As an engineer- you get the chance to work for a variety of industries, using a variety of technologies and architectures. Quarterly innovation challenges give you a chance to apply a hot technology (e.g., AR, ML, IoT), even if you are on a less-hot project. They pay for training and certifications. Nationwide, they have an impressive client roster and there is a lot of interesting work going on in the company. People are typically more than happy to share their knowledge. As a consultant, I've grown in my ability to manage projects, communicate with business stakeholders, and recognize when I've seen the same problem before. The company is healthy and growing quickly. It's not often you get to see a company of CapTech's size enter an already-crowded consulting space and successfully compete with the likes of Deloitte, Accenture, Slalom, etc. I feel that I've grown because I've had direct access to the leaders making that happen here.

Cons

The BD, training, and innovation opportunities are in addition to, not in place of, the ~40 hours a week you give to your client. Generally, it's fine if you just want to deliver your client obligation and go home, but you won't move up if you aren't doing more to contribute to CapTech as a firm. It's something to be aware of, but in my experience, the expectation is similar in the tech industry and at other firms. Also- breaking into a new market is hard. Newer national offices like Denver don't have the same brand recognition that the east coast offices enjoy. This means a smaller portfolio and that you might have to work on things that wouldn't have been your first choice technology/project/client.

We aim to do exactly that! Just this year, we did a “Compensation Roadshow,” visiting each CapTech office to talk to our consultants about compensation and total rewards. As a result, we’ve made changes to better attract and support our employees. We constantly evaluate compensation in each market we serve and we will continue to listen to our consultants about how we can be the best consulting firm to work for and work with. Thank you for your review! - Suzie Turner, CHRO

Pros

-Kind coworkers -Nice offices -No travel for most

Cons

-Management is hyper-focused on staffing efficiency. This often results in consultants being staffed/extended on projects that do not fully utilize their skill sets, much less challenge them. -Many consultants remain at the same clients for extended periods of time. -Main paths to career advancement are through taking on management responsibilities as opposed to increased technical proficiency. -Employee development is treaded as something to be handled in addition to 40+ billable hours each week. Offering internal projects, training, tech challenges and other extracurricular development opportunities is not helpful for people trying to maintain work/life balance. -Mediocre pay/benefits -The combination of these factors is leading many of the most talented individuals to pursue opportunities elsewhere

Our continuous focus on staffing helps us create the best possible experience for our employees and our clients. We aim to match our employees’ career interests and technical capabilities with projects that are both relevant and challenging, and we encourage our employees to talk to us if they are looking for a different opportunity. While many of our internal projects, training, and technical challenges are ‘extracurricular’, we want our employees to get involved with opportunities when they choose to and when it’s convenient for them. - Suzie Turner, CHRO
