CapTech reviews

-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)

Bench time was a bit too long at times. It's a smaller company so you don't get as much choice in what client project you will be on. You can network within the company to try to find a project, but sometimes senior management will just refer you to the staffing team. My first project was an SaaS project, which is the worst type of project you can be on as junior software engineer. This is because it really limits the opportunities available to you if you want to do work that doesn't involve a SaaS.
