Pros

some very talented people work for Cap strong people-focussed culture flat culture, everyone has a voice and everyone's opinion is listended to and seemingly valued culture of hard work but fun environment big clients and complex interesting projects flexible and accommodating towards personal circumstances

Cons

struggles with it's brand although this is getting better leadership comms has improved but company has seems to have lost its dynamism at the top over the past couple of years salaries are average, would rather reward you through being nominated by colleagues for special achievements. At the end of the year managers will talk about their pots of money and there not being enough left/ to go round. pay rates fall well out of line with market rates. loyalty is not rewarded. offshores or outsources some of the fundamentals and clearly not working well but agenda pushed through nevertheless importance placed on employee utilisation is high and is at the expense of working some of its employees into the ground

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
