At CapTech, we care about our people, and it drives everything we do. Thank you for noting how valued everyone is here. Time on the bench is a part of consulting work, however, we strive to make it an enriching time that allows our people to learn new skills, get involved in internal work (DIB, ERGs, Community Impact), and also have a breather from challenging client work. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

Pros

- Overall very nice people and some of the smartest I've worked with - Good opportunities to learn/grow should you seek them out - Coach structure feels nice as there is always someone to reach out to for mentorship or job related questions - Unbeatable work/life balance. I've heard stories about clients where coworkers worked <20 hours a week and still finished all of their work for the week. This is pretty client dependent but I'd say that working more than 40 hours a week is a pretty rare occurrence. I'd highly recommend working at CapTech for people who have families or other big life commitments they'd like to prioritize. - Remote friendly; you're never required to come into the office and many employees have taken advantage of this by moving to other states/cities - Pretty good PTO, people won't bother you much when you're away

Cons

- Not the most exciting work. A lot of projects feel like staff aug (which they will claim is not true) which means grunt work on older codebases/tech. The work doesn't feel that challenging which could be a pro depending on what you're looking for, but overall the growth opportunities are highly client dependent - Staffing is a black box. One of the problems with so much being client dependent is that it's not very apparent how staffing works to many, nor does it feel like you get much say once you are assigned to a project. I was once put on a project that I felt was not the right direction for my career and had a senior manager tell me that it was a "really bad look" for me if I tried to switch to a project that I felt better aligned with my career goals. - Internal opportunities no longer feel like they matter. CapTech changed their bonus structure last year to be completely utilization based, with no emphasis on merit from client engagements or internal contributions. There was a noticeable decrease in employees from senior consultant and up who were willing to organize happy hours, get togethers, or contribute internally, since it wasn't going to affect their bonus anymore. It also incentivized people to submit longer hours and take less PTO. All of this negatively impacted the company culture that was a big plus for many (myself included). - "higher base pay" myth. The pay at CapTech is average for the industry in this area. - Only 8 national holidays; expect to have a lot less 3 day weekends than your friends

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re so glad you love working at CapTech, and we want all our people to feel great about not only the culture here but the work they’re doing every day. CapTech has always been a place that values our people first which is why we examined our compensation structure, our benefits, our staffing process, and our internal opportunities, and rolled out the new plan in 2022. Offering a better bonus structure, benefits like Carrot Fertility, Fringe, and Modern Health, and formalizing an Employer Value Proposition was all done with our people in mind. I encourage you to continue working with your Coach to align yourself with projects that serve our clients, the business, and your goals. I’m always here if you’d like to connect directly as well. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR
