Pros

* Great work life balance * Solid compensation - especially for new grads * Some great coworkers and some great Engineering leaders. * Good if you're not looking for challenging tasks, and if you're really just trying to coast and cash a paycheck.

Cons

1.) It feels like it's really hard to navigate your career at CapTech. CapTech will put you into projects that do not align with your career interest and goals. I have also seen some of my colleagues get stuck on the bench for months on end and start to stagnate and not learn anything new. 2.) The client list and projects available is very very abysmal. There is not a lot of clients to choose from (it's not like you have a choice to choose where you end up anyways). 3.) Coaching culture is great for some, but a bust for many. Coaches really can make or break your experience at CapTech, and not all coaches are created equal. If you're stuck with a unenthusiastic/hands-off coach, you can really feel isolated and not set up for a great bonus or raise for the next year. 4.) The work is unchallenging, and really depends on your project. However from talking to most of my old colleagues, a lot of them do agree with my statement and think the work/workload is way too easy. 5.) The marketing team does a great job of making CapTech look sexy and cutting edge, but in reality it's just another firm where they're trying to win work and bill hours for the bottom line of making more money for the firm. 6.) I've seen a lot of wasted potential land bad projects, or never get staffed at all.

CapTech Response

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are sorry to learn that while there were many parts of your CapTech experience that you enjoyed, ultimately, you did not find your project as engaging as you had hoped. As a consultancy, our objective is to help our clients solve their most complex business and technological challenges. We serve as trusted advisors to deliver great work and ensure their needs are met. With that in mind, we can appreciate that not every project will be perfectly aligned to every consultant’s individual interests. Being an entrepreneurial firm, we support our consultants to explore their curiosities and cross-train in areas both within and outside of their practice areas and get involved in company-wide initiatives that often provide additional leadership opportunities. We are sorry your time with us was short, but we wish you the best of luck on your career journey and thank you for your contributions. Katy Apostolides, HR Director
