Pros

Good work life balance, benefits, and compensation. Interesting variety of work and opportunity to learn. People are mostly great and easy to reach out to. Upper management was clear and honest during COVID crisis.

Cons

Staffing process can be murky, so you don’t always know what kind of work you’ll be doing on a project. Some projects aren’t great (staff aug) but the company won’t end them because it’s good money. As a consulting company they’re also interested in your utilization (% of your hours that are billed to a client) and you can’t reach the target goal (90%) with 40 hour work weeks if you’re on the bench for any decent period of time or use all of your PTO. This affects your bonus.

Thank you for your review and feedback. I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying being a CapTecher! I agree the staffing process can be tricky and we will always have some staff aug work needed by our clients. That said, we do want to balance your roles and time in a role. So, please be sure to work with your Coach and Account Manager to ensure you don’t stay in one role beyond what you have agreed upon in your career path. Also, a point of clarification on the utilization, the 90% can be achieved with 41 hours a week, including PTO, which is less than most consulting firms. While bench time is built into our business model, and there if you need it, we strive to keep our consultants staffed. Our generous bonuses are calculated using several factors, utilization being one of those. Understandably, bench time was tricky this year with COVID, which will be considered in our modified performance programs. I hope this helps alleviate any concerns. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. –Katy Apostolides, HR Director

CapTech lives our core values. What keeps me at CapTech is our focus on being Trusted Advisors and Servant Leaders to our clients and bringing in intellectually curious, driven consultants to make our clients successful.

Cons

Like most consulting companies, you need to be comfortable managing your career.

Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. Thank you, as well, for your commitment to CapTech and our clients. Speaking of intellectually curious and driven consultants, as you know, we are super excited to be able to continue the intern program this year and can’t wait to see the results of their COVID-19-inspired project later this month. On the career front, you bring up a great point. Many CapTechers are here because they have control over their career, but it is a learning process to take the initiative and manage it well. Therefore, strengthening and clarifying our career pathing process is one of our top initiatives this year. Your CapTech experience and feedback on this topic is especially appreciated. Please reach out to me directly if you would be comfortable discussing further. –Katy Apostolides, HR Director

A firm that gives back what you put in

Pros

CapTech was one of the first places I worked with a clear, reasonable, and attainable ladder for growth and development. There's a lot of effort put into coaching and achieving promotions. People are able to learn, pivot in their paths and excel—based on how much the efforts you are willing to put in. Simply put, it's a firm that invests in you and rewards you for how you when you're able to learn new skills, grow accounts or build strong teams that deliver.

Cons

The CEOs and highest level of leadership are authentic people that want to do their best. They listen to their people, apologize when they've messed up, and share their commitments to do better. CapTech does need to do a better job hiring a diverse senior leader team, and they've shown they are committed here. I would appreciate a more transparent list of what steps they plan to take in the calendar year and beyond. I've had many engaging and interesting projects, but I know that can't be said for all people. I think if CapTech can ensure a rotation plan for people who've stuck it out on "staff aug" roles for a significant amount of time would be a good path to achieve better balance and satisfaction, as well as rewarding and giving promotions for high performers who continue to manage and perform work on accounts that are less than thrilling.

Thank you for your review, candid feedback, and helping us drive change. We are greatly improving the communications of our D&I efforts and planning, including a new section in our monthly newsletter, more regular company-wide & office-level announcements, discussion groups, and the revamping of the D&I internal site. These channels will provide the opportunity for CapTechers to be more involved and remain up to date on the latest D&I Council plans. Also, thank you for the feedback on a potential rotation plan for our consultants. I will gladly pass this along to our leadership. ---Katy Apostolides, HR Director
