Business outlook

Pros

If you are white, a recent college graduate (ideally a fraternity or sorority member), have a low GPA from a brand name college, not particularly technical but want to get into IT (project manager, business analyst, quality assurance, etc roles) this is a very good bet. Join here, get experience and get out as soon as you can. The pay here is reasonable, as are the benefits.

Cons

Pay attention to the posted reviews very carefully. If you don't and join, you will have only yourself to blame. People are trying to tell you the truth and help you. IT is one of the most diverse industries globally. Yet this company has a shocking lack of diversity, especially in it's upper ranks. This is a tell-tale sign of serious issues with hiring, retention and promotion practices. I suspect this is a company that is a nasty lawsuit away because of these problems. And it isn't just racial diversity that's the issue. This is by and large a staff augmentation company. What that means is that this is not the place to be if you are truly good and passionate about what you do - especially if you are the techie type (read the ideal CapTech fit above). Boring work, long hours, excessive politics, juvenile cliquish behavior, excessive travel and poor working conditions at clients is what you should expect. It will be very hard for you to get any serious depth in any particular technology or skill. Mediocrity reigns high here. Expect a majority of your co-workers to be very junior. If you are an experienced person that will be frustrating unless you have tons of patience. Largely for the same reason, expect very high turnover. People that have figured things out and have better options leave as fast as possible.

CapTech Response

We’re saddened to see how you rated your experience at CapTech, and even more so that you didn’t feel you could speak with anyone about this. We at CapTech take our responsibilities to our employees, our clients, and the community very seriously. Our core values are not just words to us, they impact how we act and work every day. We recognize the difficulties in finding diverse talent in some markets and have implemented programs that will help to build a more diverse talent pool. It appears that you left the company before we rolled out our Diversity & Inclusion program. We listen to our employees, both current and past, and recognize there is still work to be done. Diversity at CapTech is more than race or ethnicity. We embrace and celebrate the rich and diverse backgrounds that make each of us unique – our passions, cultures, perspectives, and identities. We understand and believe that diﬀerent thoughts, opinions, and life experiences do not just beneﬁt our teams – they lead to innovation, creativity, and better results for our clients. CapTech is a solutions based consultancy. Occasionally it is necessary to accept staff augmentation or hybrid roles, but we are not a staff augmentation firm. Typically, these roles lead to greater business opportunities and project team engagements.  Again, we wish you’d had a better CapTech experience, no company is perfect, but we’re working hard as one team to make continuous improvements. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.
