Pros

-Culture, maybe? -Work from home

Cons

-Terrible compensation package compared to other firms (they say it is based on market research but it really isn't, just do the market research yourself and it is clear we are very underpaid) -Decent amount of PTO, BUT you are "dinged" if you actually take it (e.g., you won't get a higher bonus, which is extremely low compared to other firms anyways, AND if you are one of the unlucky ones placed on a client that requires you not to work on their holidays then you have no chance of getting this bonus) -They make you think they care about "Work Life Balance" and "Mental Health" but neither can be accomplished with the bonus structure; mental health is a struggle for a lot of consultants I have spoken to (you can try switching projects but most people I know have not had success, or they are too scared they will be looked at differently) -If you work 40 hours and value work life balance (like CapTech preaches) there is pretty much no way to get promoted regardless of how great your client work is (which is how you should get promoted since we are a consulting firm). 100% agree with so many of the other reviews that you have to do internal work and "play politics" to get promoted -"Good ole boy" water cooler office culture (we really need a management refresh, not a "brand" refresh) -They will throw you in a project without any support, regardless of your experience, just to get it staffed as quickly as possible (you can ask your AE or coach to help you transition but I haven't had success to date)

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review although we are disheartened to read about some of these issues. To attract top talent, our compensation package, along with our traditional and extended suite of benefits, must be competitive with firms of our size. We work hard to provide an inclusive, supportive, and exciting environment for our consultants with projects across industries and clients who are leaders in their space. If you’d like to discuss specific details regarding any of your concerns, I’d be happy to provide info and guidance. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

Pros

- Great culture internally, everyone is super nice, smart and communicative - Good sense of direction by leadership

Cons

- Salary is low for junior level employees - Bonus structure is flawed, where it's dependent only on utilization when that is out of your control much of the time - Not a lot of room for movement at least in junior positions if you want to switch clients (there are many clients with old techstacks and just boring work) - Harder to move up in the company if you want to just put your head down and work, you really have to be willing to contribute internally in a meaningful way if you want a promotion

Thank you for taking a moment to note our culture, our people, and our leadership team. We have incredible people, across all levels, driving efforts at CapTech and positioning us as the best firm to work for and with, in technology consulting. We want our consultants to be excited to get involved with internal efforts and contribute in meaningful ways to what makes this company special. Internal work should be a way to get to know more about the company and your colleagues and complement the work you do for clients. We feel confident everyone can find a way to get involved that feels right to them individually and supports their growth here. Work with your coach to find the right fit for you. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

Thank you for the review. We have an incredible collective of people here at CapTech, and we’re fortunate to work with talented, caring, and dedicated colleagues. Our compensation package offers a competitive salary and extended benefits like Modern Health, Fringe Benefits, and Carrot Fertility to support our people in all areas of life.
