CapTech reviews

-Pay structure is demotivating -- ability to gain bonuses is based on maintaining a high billable rate (over 40 hours a week), and is dependent on company's ability to staff workers to projects - Design leaders have problems winning work and no clear strategy / pipeline on selling -- which creates a larger than average bench

- 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
