      Pretty good with a few big caveats

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Overall very nice people and some of the smartest I've worked with - Good opportunities to learn/grow should you seek them out - Coach structure feels nice as there is always someone to reach out to for mentorship or job related questions - Unbeatable work/life balance. I've heard stories about clients where coworkers worked <20 hours a week and still finished all of their work for the week. This is pretty client dependent but I'd say that working more than 40 hours a week is a pretty rare occurrence. I'd highly recommend working at CapTech for people who have families or other big life commitments they'd like to prioritize. - Remote friendly; you're never required to come into the office and many employees have taken advantage of this by moving to other states/cities - Pretty good PTO, people won't bother you much when you're away

      Cons

      - Not the most exciting work. A lot of projects feel like staff aug (which they will claim is not true) which means grunt work on older codebases/tech. The work doesn't feel that challenging which could be a pro depending on what you're looking for, but overall the growth opportunities are highly client dependent - Staffing is a black box. One of the problems with so much being client dependent is that it's not very apparent how staffing works to many, nor does it feel like you get much say once you are assigned to a project. I was once put on a project that I felt was not the right direction for my career and had a senior manager tell me that it was a "really bad look" for me if I tried to switch to a project that I felt better aligned with my career goals. - Internal opportunities no longer feel like they matter. CapTech changed their bonus structure last year to be completely utilization based, with no emphasis on merit from client engagements or internal contributions. There was a noticeable decrease in employees from senior consultant and up who were willing to organize happy hours, get togethers, or contribute internally, since it wasn't going to affect their bonus anymore. It also incentivized people to submit longer hours and take less PTO. All of this negatively impacted the company culture that was a big plus for many (myself included). - "higher base pay" myth. The pay at CapTech is average for the industry in this area. - Only 8 national holidays; expect to have a lot less 3 day weekends than your friends

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re so glad you love working at CapTech, and we want all our people to feel great about not only the culture here but the work they’re doing every day. CapTech has always been a place that values our people first which is why we examined our compensation structure, our benefits, our staffing process, and our internal opportunities, and rolled out the new plan in 2022. Offering a better bonus structure, benefits like Carrot Fertility, Fringe, and Modern Health, and formalizing an Employer Value Proposition was all done with our people in mind. I encourage you to continue working with your Coach to align yourself with projects that serve our clients, the business, and your goals. I’m always here if you’d like to connect directly as well. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

      Staff Augmentation With Extra Steps

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Coworkers were friendly and smart -Lots of good food and alcohol at corporate events -Good place if you are fresh out of college. -Depending on the contract, no long working hours

      Cons

      -Most of the Account Managers I worked with across many clients had horrible communication/time management skills. I was literally forgotten and ignored on a few projects. -You needed to network at corporate events and happy hours in order to get on better contracts and work on interesting projects. I was told this by my coach the first month I started at CapTech. -The staff that handles the Bench gate keeps all the opportunities. From junior consultants to upper management, you don't get a say in where and what you do. You might be the best .NET programmer who is Azure Certified, but if they determine you need to work on a on-prem wordpress site, that's what you are doing. If you are lucky (see comment above) you might have made an impression on a director at happy hour and they will snatch you up on their team before the bench team gets a hold of you. -This was hands down the most Caucasian company I've ever worked at. I know they are trying to fix this but why has this still a problem in 2021? -Promotions involve being on an internal project with high visibility. They have zero to do with how well you produce for your client. -The staff augmentation work is ridiculously high. If you are a seasoned I.T. professional looking for that next opportunity with interesting projects, CapTech is not for you. The business model works well for new college hires who are looking for experience.

      Pros

      Nice people, variety of work if you get the right client

      Cons

      Lack of transparency from Leadership, poor communication regarding staffing opportunities, bench time is welcomed, but you are fired if on bench too long. Stop expecting people to put in 40+ hours at the client then another 20 internally to get promoted.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We continue to receive feedback around improving transparency into the staffing opportunities. We have added the weekly Central Bench meeting and made many improvements by opening that channel. During the months on the bench, we provide opportunities to help CapTechers diversify their skills, if desired, to match the client work that is in demand. We are continuing to improve this process and your feedback is important. If you are open to sharing more about your personal experience, please reach out to me directly at kapostolides@captechconsuting.com and help us continue to improve. –Katy Apostolides, HR Director
