Pretty Good Place to Work

Pros

CapTech's executive philosophies for how they'd like to treat their staff are better than anywhere else I've worked and certainly better than other consulting firms. The culture is great here. Truly. And I'm a tough critic. Everyone that I worked with was very friendly. When they say 'work life balance', they actually mean it. Some companies have reviews on here that profess work life balance when you'll actually end up working 50+ hour weeks. Not at CapTech - they really offer true, 40 hour work weeks, at least in my experience. The company invests in the little things to make you happy - office snacks, regular office events, swag, fun annual company-wide meetings, etc. I felt as though the pay was generous for what I was doing.

Cons

I was hired for a position that was not suited for my skills (at all) and also wasn't anywhere close to what was advertised in the job posting. In some ways, it felt like a 'bait and switch' situation. As a result, I didn't stay very long. I want a career and not a job - work for me isn't just about a paycheck, it's about building out my resume as well. Project management on my project could definitely have been improved. There were significant communication problems across the team and management was just generally disorganized and didn't appear to have a consistent or solid vision for what we should we doing and how we should be doing it. I understand that it was a big team that was spun up quickly with a lot of new hires, but it was really frustrating for just about every staff member that I spoke to. Every staff member seemed to be trying to plan their exit from the project.

We’re sorry to hear that you felt misled in the recruiting process. We create our job descriptions to fit anticipated need of upcoming work but also to remain open enough to suit various projects. They are created to align with a particular skillset or project role need. There are many factors that can contribute to the work varying once an individual starts at CapTech, but we will strive to make this more of priority to explain in the recruiting process. Our goal is for of our employees to feel valued and have the opportunity to do meaningful work. – Suzie Turner, Principal

Decent firm but beware of hidden issues

Pros

Good exposure to a variety of projects and their local client model. Much less bureaucratic than a big 4 firm. Culture is good. Benefits are decent compared to other places - fully vested retirement and generous number of vacation days.

Cons

Pay isn't too competitive compared to other alternative boutique firms. If you know your stuff and have experience to back it up, you can easily command low to mid 6 figures as a consultant elsewhere. I would definitely not consider CapTech as a "true" consulting firm. Majority of the projects were staff aug. Coaches are a joke and mostly in place to keep an eye out for their subordinates. BEWARE of backstabbing. While I understand consulting is pretty competitive, I worked with some pretty cut throat and super passive aggressive people that did whatever necessary to get ahead by throwing people under the bus.

Our culture and flat organization are two of things that help to make CapTech unique as a consulting firm, and we are happy to hear that you agree! Our coaching culture is not intended to encourage micromanagement or policing. Its intent is to foster employee driven careers. We are continually working to provide the best environment for our employees to grow, and it saddens us to hear that you did not experience this in your time with CapTech. – Suzie Turner, Principal

Striving for greatness but still room to grow

Pros

CapTech has great philosophies about building a great corporate culture. The corporate training programs are great. The Onboarding process is streamlined.

Cons

Leaders are young and growing into their roles. Philosophies about culture are not proven and don't consider everyone. After hours commitment to internal development of the company is excessive.

Internal contributions for our consultants are intended to provide the opportunity for those out in the field to be able to impact the future of CapTech. While client delivery comes first, we value being able to provide our consultants with the opportunities to become involved in internal capacities to leverage all of their skills and impact change. We’re saddened to hear that you felt that this became excessive as it’s an elective contribution. As we grow as a company, our philosophies are also growing, and we do our best to make sure that they accommodate all of our employees and help to make CapTech an enjoyable place to build a career. - Suzie Turner, Principal
