Thank you for your review. We are glad you were happy with your benefits, while you were a CapTecher. We take this feedback seriously, and work hard to provide fair observations and feedback on hard work, skills and engagement. Our compensation model is competitive and reflective of local market and industry benchmarking. We continuously strive to develop strong leadership within all levels at CapTech, and we recently created a shared office leadership model in the Atlanta office that we’re really excited about! There’s always room for improvement, and we’re always open to hearing feedback, so thank you for sharing your perspective. If you have additional input, please feel free to contact me directly. I’m open to a conversation. -Suzie Turner, Principal

Looks great from the outside...but terrible inside.

Pros

Junior people are high energy and enthusiastic. Lots of free food, drinks (beer in the fridges) and social events.

Cons

No ethical leaders to speak of. These people pay lip service to their "core" values, but reward incompetence and yes-people. Diversity is almost zero at top levels. Total diversity across all levels is about 16%. The company is Richmond-centric and micromanages other offices. If you're part of the good old boy network down in Richmond, you may be ok, but if you want to do good work in other geographies, there are much better places to be. The company quietly does illegal things in performance evaluations, pay and hiring. They are great at managing their image to the outside world, but after you're inside for some time you see the true picture quickly. Stay away!

Favoritism / Group-Think / Intrigues

Pros

I give CapTech a lot of credit how they handled the Covid crisis. Leadership tried hard to keep most consultants on the payroll.

Cons

Like many others have already described, CapTech is increasingly dominated by a culture of favoritism and group-think. Like many woke companies CapTech has spun up “Diversity-Inclusion-Belonging” committees. Not only do those groups siphon significant energy and effort away from the actual work but in reality CapTech is not interested at all in any diversity of thought: If you voice your own opinion or – HORROR! – venture to give constructive feedback about work or processes, many CapTech “leaders” react like sulking teenagers. And worse, some of them start spreading rumors and lies behind your back. And the Leadership (i.e. the Good-Old-Boys&Girls club in Richmond) doesn’t care that for years you have received accolades from your coworkers and clients alike. They rather protect their cronies and will sooner or later try to push you out. CapTech leadership constantly brags that they are making such wonderful, interesting jobs available. But the reality is that a lot of engagements are “extended workbench”-type jobs, and the Leadership awards most of the interesting positions to their cronies which in turn then also leads to faster promotions for them. Favoritism / Group-Think / Intrigues: It is the most toxic environment I have experienced in my entire career. CapTech also completely missed the boat with regard to compensation: By now you can easily get 15-20% more at other companies. And the (health-)benefits package is getting sub-par, too: HR started catering to special interests to the detriment of the benefits for all: The health plan now covers the costs for “Fertility Treatment” (REALLY?!?) but the contributions to the HSA have been drastically reduced. CapTech leadership and HR are totally tone-deaf regarding what is going on in the company: Good, experienced people are quitting at an increasing rate. By now the response rate of “employee surveys” is abyssal (It should tell you something when a large portion of your employees doesn’t respond anymore…). Finally, don’t believe all those (independent) “Best Work Place”-awards: Leadership strongly urges (to the point of pressure) everyone to submit positive reviews.

Although this post is difficult to read, we thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. As an organization that stands by its core values, we do our best to ensure that our CapTechers are supported and have ample opportunity to develop and succeed in their careers. With Coaches, Mentors, and a Learning and Development team designed to assist in career paths for people at all levels of the organization, we have worked to provide progression options for everyone. CapTech has, is, and will continue to be a place of acceptance and belonging. We take great pride in the work our Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Council, along with our Employee Resource Groups, has done to establish a culture where all employee populations are empowered. The ERGs were created by our people and are led by our people. The Benefits team and Leadership put a lot of thought into our benefit offerings and attempt to cater to all employees and their specific needs. While some benefits may not be an immediate need for you, they may be life changing benefits for others. The HSA did see changes recently, however, to compensate we’ve added new benefit platforms that, if partnered with the HSA, could see more employer contributions. We are sorry that your experience as a CapTecher was not what we strive for. Many of your comments are concerning to me and I’d welcome the opportunity to better understand your perspective and experience. If you are open to speaking more, please feel free to email me at kapostolides@captechconsulting.com. Thank you. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director, HR
