Pros

There are some great individuals that work there, but they leave quickly or get shown the door. Benefits are ok, pay is meh. They tried to bring in a new CEO to fix things, but no real change has occurred beneath the surface.

Cons

The employees that survive in this organization are the ones who have developed a habit of manipulative and controlling management techniques. Offering feedback even if substantiated often leads to retaliatory actions for many coworkers. Observed many good people get let go instead of decision makers and leaders that should have been held accountable. Another huge red flag - many coworkers report attempts to silence them in way of legal clauses that prevent discussing illicit activity they've witnessed during their employment in separation agreements. My Advice: Do your research and trust your gut, obviously don't just rely on this feedback alone. The high turnover and constant hiring should say enough which is why they prey on college hires & interns that don't understand their value and that there are better organizations to work for out there. CapTech spends considerable effort fighting the poor feedback by pushing current employees to leave favorable reviews, buying time from celebrity sports figures to create marketing posts (just check LinkedIn), and using a few token minorities to advertise that they are diverse. When in fact most of the organization is Caucasian, especially the Senior Leadership.

This is certainly a troubling review to read as it feels very inaccurate to all the incredible work being done by amazing people at CapTech. We hate that your experience has led to this review, but we’d like to offer our view on the points you noted. Our benefits and compensation package has been created to give our people a well-rounded offering, which is why we’ve introduced benefits such as Carrot Fertility, Modern Health, Fringe Benefits, and more. Companies with growth strategies know that early talent programs (interns and college hires) are a must-have in today’s market, but we are not valuing those programs above experienced hires with sought-after tech skill sets. Having both gives us experience at all levels and is a value add for our company. Our sports partnerships align with our branch of sports tech and marketing and are a natural fit for CapTech, not a marketing ploy. Diversity among our senior leaders is important, and we’re excited about how far we’ve come and are excited to continue to grow diverse leaders. We have a Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging council here, along with Employee Resource Groups, that are driving true change at all levels of our organization. We encourage an open-door environment and welcome any CapTecher to raise their concerns to senior leaders, HR, etc. For anyone not comfortable going directly to leaders or our HR team, we offer an anonymous resource for assistance in raising concerns. If you’d like to discuss your thoughts further, I’d invite you to speak with me directly so I can learn more about your specific experiences. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

We appreciate everything you do for CapTech, and I'm glad your experience has been a positive one. We want everyone to feel supported as they grow and develop in new ways. I agree that the transition between clients can be stressful, and we recognize the importance of communication, support and engagement during these periods of change. Our weekly bench calls and open-door culture are two ways team members on the bench can connect and learn how to stay connected between clients. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR

Pros

CapTech’s biggest strength is its people. The culture is genuinely collaborative, which stands out in consulting where internal competition is often the norm. Teams work well together, knowledge sharing is encouraged, and there’s real space for entrepreneurship and innovation. The firm has also shown an ability to stay financially stable through uncertain times like COVID by taking creative measures to adapt. CapTech has embraced AI proficiency very well. They procured an internal certification program, created a learning path to get consultants comfortable and confident using AI tooling, and worked with clients to inject AI solutioning - even for clients not ready for it. It's pretty impressive to see how much success CapTech has had by understanding the impact of AI in consulting.

Cons

Leadership communication lacks transparency, particularly around decisions that materially impact employees. For example, the shift to unlimited PTO was positioned as a benefit aligned with industry standards, while downplaying the more meaningful financial implication that PTO accrual payouts were eliminated. That kind of decision would have been better received with straightforward, honest context about economic pressures. The consultant feedback process is also flawed. While there have been multiple attempts to improve it (SBIC templates, start/stop, incremental check ins), peer feedback trends overwhelmingly positive and often does not reflect actual performance. This creates challenges for staffing decisions and limits meaningful professional growth. There also appears to be a lack of alignment at the executive level. Decisions often feel consensus-driven rather than structured and decisive, which impacts clarity of direction. There is also a recurring disconnect between what is sold and what can actually be delivered. The MC practice and SI are routinely not aligned on scope, feasibility, or level of effort. This creates avoidable friction once delivery begins, puts unnecessary pressure on project teams, and can erode client trust when expectations have to be reset mid-engagement. On one project, it was hard to hear our client share that, "You guys need to fix the problem you created!" Trust in leadership is an issue. Many employees question whether leadership can scale the company effectively, and there is a growing perception that the firm is drifting toward a staff augmentation model rather than differentiated or "boutique" consulting.

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re proud that our people, collaborative culture, and continued investment in areas like AI have stood out positively. We also appreciate the candid perspectives on transparency, feedback, executive alignment, and delivery execution—these are areas we are actively and continually working to improve, and input like this helps inform those efforts. We remain committed to clearer communication, stronger alignment across practices, and ensuring we deliver on the differentiated consulting experience our employees and clients expect. Thank you for your years of helping CapTech be a best place to work. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR
