Pluspunten
CapTech provides a community of like-minded professionals: often young, always highly competent or highly intelligent, generally life-time learners. Internal work is an opportunity -- in my experience -- not a burden. There is a tremendous diversity in styles and cultures. CapTechers -- as we style ourselves -- are not cookie-cutter consultants. There is a great deal of creativity, humor, community engagement and artistry in our teams. That turns into an eclectic personality that is recognized by our clients. They like it. It is what maintains the Listening culture we have: a team with lots of personal diversity is likely to maintain humility. The "Others Talk. We Listen." tag line wasn't an aspirational marketing line: an independent survey told CapTech that it is what our existing and past clients _already said about us_. Clearly, I believe it. I am satisfied with my compensation, and surveys confirm that CapTech ranks highly for compensation. The focus is mostly on real value compensation: salary and benefits. I don't like places that over-invest in silliness like game machines and recreation. There are, though, special deals on a gym membership and all kinds of recreational groups: a softball team, tennis players, the bike race sponsorship (and lots of bikers). All of this is part of the culture that is the reason I intend to continue to build my career at CapTech.
Minpunten
Work-life balance is always a chore. What I've found at CapTech is that you absolutely have the choice to engineer your career just as you would a client solution. I say no to internal work that is too high-touch or too low-value. I find the work that I really enjoy and that will add the most value while fitting well into my life. And CapTech leadership appreciates the honest approach. But you were looking for a real con. OK: I have heard some people say they felt our training opportunities were not as robust as at some consultancies. They've met my needs, but I'll give that as a potential opportunity for CapTech.
