      OK place for young people - poor leadership will make continued scaling difficult

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Low/no travel - work where you live model Excellent college hires Very competitive Consultant level Compensation Reasonable benefits, PTO/401k/Insurance

      Cons

      Poor compensation past Senior Consultant which is not competitive with other consultancies, or clients by design. Company rewards tenure, not performance or competency. Misleading recruitment process - generic job descriptions which have nothing to do with the work 75% of the time. Very significant amount of Staff Augmentation type work. Mismanaged AM function without appropriate compensation or utilization expectations. Heavy reliance on happy hours to keep young people excited about being a "consultant" when they've spent the past 18 months taking meeting minutes as their job.

      Thank you for your review and feedback. Many factors are considered when determining compensation, including performance against goals and our Core Competency Framework, based on your level. If you’d like to learn more about the Annual Review process (it’s right around the corner!), I encourage you to reach out to your Coach or anyone in HR. As we grow, our markets will continue to evolve as we recruit and hire more consultants and leaders in our newer markets. Again, we value your feedback and as a current employee, feel free to reach out to me directly if you’d like to further discuss any of your concerns. - Suzie Turner, Principal

      A Startup That Doesn't Know Its a Startup

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work-life balance is good, depending on your project. It is truly a flat organization, so there' s a relatively good amount of autonomy. Pay is decent, benefits are pretty terrible IMO, but you wouldn't know unless you've had really good benefits in the past. There's lots of happy hours and they'll let you expense just about anything.

      Cons

      The higher-ups have a very naive perspective on what day to day life is like for consultants. They don't realize the company is still basically a startup (especially in smaller offices) and don't treat it that way. This leads to lots of poor decisions that tend to only impact the "boots on the ground" so to speak. Also, work-life balance goes completely out the window if there's a "sensitive" or "VIP" project/client. I've witnessed first-hand cases where people are explicitly told to work long hours and weekends to meet unreasonable deadlines just to make a client happy.

      Thank you for your review and feedback. As CapTech has embraced a Coaching and Feedback culture, we value yours and encourage employees to give upward feedback, as mentioned in your review. We are proud of the culture we have built and it takes time to build that in other markets, as we expand nationally. I encourage you to reach out to your Coach, your Office Lead, HR or our Benefits Manager – we would love to hear ideas to improve our benefit options to employees! - Suzie Turner, Principal

      Decent firm but beware of hidden issues

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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
