CapTech Consulting

Pros: Great junior employees, beer and food (although it’s changing) ok culture. Good new office (but it’s hotel seating unless you are like the office leadership &amp; co). 401k.

Cons: - 1. Projects - Only staff aug no matter what they say. They used to do some consulting. Only one major client bank (not “The bank”)  that uses mediocrity so that they can prolong the budget game (think use of consultants giving the perception  that projects important). All other clients who are low volume are considered as second class citizens. I can’t believe the bank is keeping CapTech given its mediocre delivery. There have been multiple failed projects especially in high tech consulting areas like digital transformation, security to name a few. 
2. Poor leadership support - Ask people directly about leadership. There is severe cronyism and random promotions. If delivery goes bad there is a good chance a scapegoat is selected and blamed instead of understanding systemic issues. Leadership lacks vision and is myopic. It doesn’t matter if you worked/delivered hundred technologies but the one were you had a single small review is reprimanded. Leadership lacks empathy and compassion. There are unspoken behind the closet intimidation. 
3. Admin/HR support- HR is one person and is trying to justify presence. This results in unwanted witch hunts to gain prominence among leaders.  Since there is high pressure on consultants to be billing and that’s the focus, very little is done to curb cronyism or racism or promote diversity. There is very little effort to promote diversity from top down. 
4. Career growth/compensation - This is a staff aug firm that’s disguised as a tech firm. The main goal is to have utilization up. Basically you are given 21 days of holidays (includes national holidays,PTO, sick leave etc). This means that you should be 100% billable on other times to get a bonus. There is an impact bonus - pittance when you generate new business. There is no stock option or other incentives. Really good candidates are selected at the consultant/senior consultant level and made to work on low key/ grunt work projects and they leave. Forget about the layoffs that happened recently but even before attrition is through the roof. This is the most important thing to note - this company is not for skilled consultants or those who want to learn. It’s for low or mediocre consultants willing to put up with grunt work. They do a good job attracting top talent but the aforementioned cronyism and other drawbacks make consultants leave.
5. Brand - This could have been a great brand about 2 years ago. But the brand is now suffering not just in Charlotte but every other location. Brand name suggests a technology leader but really it’s mostly project management and excel editing that CapTech is known for. There are other companies that don’t disguise as a tech firm that do a better job.
5. Diversity - very few African Americans especially women in the organization especially at leadership levels. They had some grassroots women’s movement, however management didn’t give enough support to enable women leaders actually leading those initiatives instead promoted others more closer. The current diversity initiatives are in my view a lip service/ once in a blue moon effort to show that they do something.

I've been a consultant for 20 years, and have been with many firms... from small 20 person firms to large publicly traded firms. CapTech has the best environment, corporate personality, and work life balance of anywhere I've experienced. They take the best parts of a small company, with the rich opportunity and experiences offered by a larger firm. Can't say enough positive things about my decade here. I really do love working here and feel included and valued every day. 

Management: Highly accessible, with strong backgrounds doing what their team members do. While there is always room for improvement, they work hard to strike a balance that works for both the company roadmap and the talented individuals who make this company successful. 

Culture: If you want to be in an environment where you are surrounded by others who are both good at what they do and willing to collaborate to make you successful, this is the place. 

Tip: CapTech is a environment where task takers do not thrive. We value and look for self starters, people comfortable expressing themselves and helping to build their own path.

First, CapTech is a great place to work if you're looking for  a more chill environment where you can work 20-30 hours a week. Unfortunately, the pay is really below market, and the company recently changed  their bonus structure so that bonus is given ONLY based on utilization, not merit (percentages below 90 means you get little to no bonus). In addition, PTO counts AGAINST utilization, so taking vacation serves to decrease  your chances of getting a good bonus. For someone where you need to  worry about kids and family obligations, CapTech is nice because it's all remote and lets me be flexible. For younger folks looking for a more fast paced environment that will work on new tech for better pay, they should probably look elsewhere.

CapTech has a lot of great people and some interesting projects. There are opportunities to be heard and create change within the organization. The organization is growing quickly and, while there are some growing pains, they are starting to figure it out. 

CapTech is a full time consultancy and not a staffing or contracting firm. I think a lot of people overlook them because they are not as well known outside of the Richmond, VA area. This means that even when you are not on a client you are still working on learning new things and augmenting the business development teams.  

Every office has a different culture but the people are skilled in their work and excited about the company.

I thoroughly enjoy the people I work with, and have enjoyed almost all of my projects, except for the ones I’ve been on lately. 

That aside, the compensation is absurdly low for the market, which is especially absurd when you know they justify lower comp because of the culture. We used to have an incredible culture, but being remote during COVID has changed that (which is expected). Long story short, captech cannot continue to justify lower compensation rates solely because of culture—step it up or you will continue losing the people who are so fundamental to the culture. 

I started here right out of college and really enjoyed all my experiences with Captech and their clients. Overall, it's a great company to get started and really get a feel for various industries. The biggest downfall with Captech was that it was difficult to maintain work life balance. But i'm assuming that may be the case for a lot of consulting companies where you're required to work on internal projects as well as projects for the client.

If you were involved in a frat or a sorority then this is the place for you. The company prides itself on recruiting from frats and sororities, that also means if you weren’t involved in those then you will not fit in with the culture at all. There is zero autonomy for compliance to be effective and once a serious issue is found then you will be forced out. If you have any medical issue that comes up then they will force you out. 

The workplace culture at CapTech is one that encourages employee collaboration which creates a very learning/development friendly environment. New employees usually feel welcome to ask for advice and guidance as they settle into the company. Junior employees feel comfortable asking project and career related questions to senior employees who are always more than willing to provide support.

Great place to start your career as a Software Engineer. Due to the nature of consulting you do end up in situations where you're put in roles that you weren't originally hired for. There are many projects to join at CapTech, but this comes with the cost of some projects being more interesting than others.



The business works with a lot of local tech industry clients. It's standard consulting work with a focus on billable hours. There is some engagement to actually do well for clients, but at the end of the day the bottom line of the company is a priority which i get. The people are fine, and it's leadership seems to have some vision of what they want but nothing stands out as stellar from my time there.
