Pros

-Most likely remote work -Endless opportunities to train and learn new skills -Most Co-Workers are great, intelligent people

Cons

I want this review to be inclusive of everything that is truly a con about Captech and provide those that may be entertaining working here some food for thought. I worked for Captech for multiple years with very few personal issues with any coworkers or much less management. I got promoted, progressed in my skillset, and got involved in office activities, and planning committees. However, over the course of the last year or so, a few things came to light; 1. Senior Managers etc, on stable clients/accounts form a cult, are full of themselves, and you will, if you are an outsider to it, must buy into it 2. The largest negative that is arising at Captech though, is not the large heads by more senior consultants, but rather a new unspoken policy that you will not find out about unless it happens to someone you are close with, or yourself. If you are on the bench for 90 days, they will fire you...with no heads up. This is immoral and makes 0 sense for many reasons; 1- This applies to all level of consultants. Besides maybe college hires since they have no experience, and are cheap for clients compared to more senior individuals, they will let you go point blank, regardless of how consistently you've been staffed leading up to this pt. More senior ppl than I were let go because of the same reasons. 2-Getting placed on a project is not up to you. I never turned down a project, and found myself on the bench waiting as project after project failed to get signed on for a contract. Projects are rejected by the firm as well, which creates a self imposed work shortage. The amount of companies requiring help in the data realm are vast and endless, so to say there is not enough work to assign your senior level data engineers and architects, is absurd on multiple counts. I was even passed up by less senior individuals who were on the bench less time than me, This would not have been a problem if the 90 day firing policy was known and considered by those in charge of placement. 3-They push for recommendations and to hire straight out of college... endlessly. Why on earth are you hiring constantly, for redundant positions, just to fire your current employees that are qualified and willing to fill the current vacant positions on projects. 4-Probably the most annoying aspect to all of this, is that it is CONSTANTLY stated that they want a consistent bench. They make a pt of ensuring a "healthy" bench for consultant availability, and work life balance, yet they will fire you over it without notice. They even go as far as to recommend you cool off from engagements on the bench. Overall, I am so very disappointed in a company that states to have your back, only to shove you out of the door, with 0 adequate explanation, rationale, logic, or humanity.

This is an incredibly tough review to see on our page. We understand that you have very strong feelings around your departure, but we have to say that your review feels not only inaccurate but also unfair. There is no cult like mentality in the halls of CapTech and there is no policy were we’d let go of people on the bench at the 90 day mark. First, we are happy to see that our people enjoy working with each other and learning from one another, but there is no exclusive behavior tolerated here. Second, we work hard to find and hire top talent, so benching people just to let them go at 90 days would not make sense. Our top performers are consistently picked for projects due to the skills and knowledge they bring to the client. In a case where we have an individual on the bench and not getting picked up for projects, we work with the individual and their coach to understand the situation and talk through potential outcomes. CapTech takes on projects that make sense for our business and our people. We have an incredible roster of clients that are at the top of their respective industries and a strong leadership team at CapTech that is focused on growth and our long term business state. Our college recruiting program is strong and we’re proud to be working with the future of tech talent. Any company looking at their growth strategy knows that early talent is an important aspect of their business. Our college hires are strategically mentored throughout their first year with us as part of the Discovery boot camp program. Our experienced talent plays a key role in helping college hires grow. Again, your review is tough to read when we pride ourselves on a culture that puts our people first. It’s in our Core Values, our Employer Value Proposition, and it drives everything we do. We never want our people to experience anything but the best here. We invite you to sit down with us and talk through this situation. Please feel free to reach out to me directly. – Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

I’d encourage you to sit down with your coach and talk through your interests so they can work to align you with projects that meet your passions and help you grow professionally. You are also always welcome to chat with me directly so I can help you navigate your path. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

I can't say anything negative at this time. I have been happy with this company and feel as if I made the best choice to work here!

Thank you for being such a great ambassador for CapTech. We’re fortunate to have so many people like you who embrace and appreciate how the core values are baked into our work and culture. Our people truly set our brand apart from the others. With the introduction of two new Employee Resource Groups, just this year, we feel like we have a place where all employees can find their voice and bring their whole selves to work. We’re bringing even more value to our people in 2023 with new and extended benefits as another way we can continue to show our people just how much they mean to CapTech. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR
