Pros

Great people to work with. Proactive about evolving the culture so it's inclusive and understanding of everyone. Values personal time.

Cons

Can be difficult to understand how to be promoted. Though personal time is valued, the balance between internal (to the company) and external (client) work can be tough to find for long stretches.

Pros

CapTech (which I will refer to as CT from here on out) will lure you in with a higher salary than most similar companies. $$$$. The other benefits CT provides stellar, and I have met some of the best and smartest people at this company. They also have a lot of awards like “Top 50 best small tech consulting in the DMV” or whatever that they like to flaunt. Good branding!

Cons

CT is one of the most toxic workplaces I’ve encountered in my 10+ years in this industry. Period. As previous reviewers have noted, there is a prevailing “boy’s club” or “frat-like” environment at CT which is on the dot. The culture (or lack thereof) is noticeable when you look across CT’s leadership and notice they are all cut from the same mold. There is little to no diversity among them and there is only one type of person who gets promoted: the privileged. The preppy boys and girls who grew up at the country club and never had to face any real struggles in their lives. If you do not fit this bill, then I am sorry. You will likely not get far at this company unless you sacrifice your lifeblood and sanity for a promotion (which from what I heard, isn’t even that much of a bump). Growth is actively being prevented among those that aren’t as fortunate as those bless to be as privileged and have the buddy-buddy type of relationship with the CT elite club. They will literally invent baseless and roundabout reasons to prevent the underprivileged CTers from getting promoted. You will have to argue tooth and nail and provide concrete evidence before they even budge. Employees are also scared to speak up and there is little room for dissension. They will make you feel ashamed or belittle you if you show any sense of vulnerability or make any attempt to change the status quo. I am thankful to be done with this godforsaken company and good riddance. CapTech has lost all sense of goodwill from this former CapTecher who used to love this company. Below is a summary of the above as a TL;DR: 1) Privileged, Low EQ (Emotional intelligence) Leadership and Culture 2) Fear and shame are used as tools to motivate employees 3) Increasingly high turnover from long-time CTers that is being hushed up internally (probably to prevent more people from considering quitting) 4) Values money and bottom-line over their employee’s wellbeing Long story, short. Do you like being bullied or are you masochistic? Then CapTech is the place for you!

Pros

Great teammates, and interesting projects at times. It is a forward-thinking organization in most ways.

Cons

Felt like a fraternity sometimes. Or like high school, with cliques & popularity contests. If you were "different," it could be ostracizing. Extroverts who "fit the mold" & participate in every happy hour, do very well here.

Thank you for your review. Preserving a culture around inclusivity and belonging is something that CapTech takes very seriously. Our intent is to foster a culture where everyone feels like they can bring every aspect of who they are to the workplace and thrive. When a CapTecher’s experience misses this mark, we need learn and continue to improve. In addition, there is opportunity for input into how these efforts can be more impactful through our DIB Council and Employee Resource Groups. I would like to learn more about your specific experience. Please reach out to me at kapostolides@captechconsulting.com. Thank you. --Katy Apostolides, HR Director
