Pros

The staff are great and always make time to support growth and development. You had the opportunity to not travel for projects, this helped me a great deal.

Cons

Everyone is really just trying to hold things together. After Sr. Consultant, if you ever want to be promoted you have work on internal initiatives, network at events and excel on the client billable work. Sounds simple enough, but what ends up happening is things get pushed off to someone lower level, you cut corners with the client to complete proposals or you burn out. Networking events that involve alcohol sounds great, but anyone with kids or other obligations feel left out of the "in crowd". Killing it on projects is simply not enough. Two CEOs is redundant... especially when you layoff staff and are closing offices. Not sure what the executive leadership do once they are promoted to that level other than speak at events/ internal meetings and keep staff motivated. Very little diversity, especially the higher up the chain. There have been efforts, but more lip service and awareness than any actual change. A lot of my peers and colleagues in my service offering have left for other opportunities because of better salary, these secret layoffs or burn out . Right now it seems like everybody for themselves environment.

CapTech Response
5y
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Our CapTechers are our priority, and it is unfortunate that your time with us was not the CapTech experience we strive for. To be clear, there have not been any layoffs. We acknowledge that the global health crisis created an unavoidable slowdown for CapTech in the early months of 2020 and our response included a temporary furlough program. Fast forward to today, we are thrilled to see continued, steady growth and client demand across all Practice Areas for both new and existing clients. This growth momentum has allowed us to re-open all offices on a voluntary basis to increase CapTecher flexibility and offer additional workspace options for those who need it. Thank you, again, for the feedback. –Katy Apostolides, HR Director
