CapTech is super reactive to whatever they happen to be able to sell. From my level it didn't appear to have any sort of strategy for growing or preparing consultants for skills that would be needed in the future because even leadership has no clue what they're going to sell. Company meetings are a joke - they're mostly silly videos of Principals because there wasn't any sort of strategy to go over.
There's a strong culture of "internal work" - doing non-billable hours above and beyond your 40 hour work week to either gain new skills or contribute to the company. Expect to work more than 40 hours each week, though excessively long weeks are rare or voluntary. Because management is reactive, internal requests can be frustrating because demands change too quickly.
This company is beginning to expect more travel and does not have the infrastructure in place to appropriately reward you for that.
In the smaller offices (<100 people in the office), the culture is largely driven by the office lead, so the experience may be significantly different from the culture from the larger offices.
Staff aug. This is probably the only topic that you can't get leadership to be realistic about. They continue to claim that they only sell staff aug in rare circumstances, but that's just not the case. Some of the staff aug that they sell is still high quality work!
Knowing the right person is crucial to your success.
