CapTech Manager reviews

I will always appreciate CapTech for the growth opportunities I was afforded and the deep friendships I made. The culture here has sharply declined in the past few years. Originally, their passion for their clients and employees was evident. Now, it is only about increasing profit immediately and ignoring future implications. - You aren’t allowed to use the ping-pong table. :-) - You will be rewarded for who you know, what you drink, and how well you practice sycophancy. Skill, servant leadership, client delivery and teamwork do not matter. Those that contribute the most are looked over. This is NOT the place to go if you are a developer, engineer, architect, technical analyst. - The project you are placed on has nothing to do with your skillset, and it is almost impossible to move. - The Tyson’s office setup: It is cute at first glance, or if you are stopping by. But it is impossible to take business calls or think over the cacophony amplified by an open floor space with no sound dampening. There are not enough offices to take calls. I’ve had to take calls in the junk closet. - Executives are very gossipy, including HR. - The promotion process refresh has been “in progress” for a few years. But let’s be honest, there isn’t an actual process and there wont ever be because they would have to be held accountable to it.

Where to start.... 1) As previous reviews have stated the promotion process is an absolute joke. You can work extremely hard and be considered a rockstar on your client, but if you aren’t in the “inner circle” then you will never get recognition, much less a promotion. I’ve never seen a less transparent promotion process. I saw the same people get promoted over and over, and let’s just say they weren’t what you would call “high performers”. 2) I raised serious issues to HR on more than one occasion about senior leaders and their behaviors, and as other reviews mentioned not only was nothing done, but the script was flipped on me like somehow I was the problem.... and they wonder why no one is going to HR?!? 3) During COVID the company was not setup to “weather the storm” and basically told a good majority of employees who had worked their tails off for their hospitality clients that they no longer had positions and if they didn’t find new positions on the other limited projects, that they would be furloughed and eventually laid off. Those who didn’t get furloughed or laid off got their salaries slashed as well. In addition to all that, the poor lack of leadership that led us to be poorly positioned during COVID also then told us that senior leadership was not subject to the furloughs and layoffs. This definitely did not sit well with the employees. To add a cherry on top of all this bad news, they were bringing on interns and full time hires vs. working to retain salaried full time employees who had given several years to their company. I think this shows how much they really cared about their employees and time that was spent building those client relationships and get leadership their promotions and bonuses. As someone who personally experienced this, I felt like it was a total waste of multiple years based on how the company handled this situation.
