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
