CT is one of the most toxic workplaces I’ve encountered in my 10+ years in this industry. Period. As previous reviewers have noted, there is a prevailing “boy’s club” or “frat-like” environment at CT which is on the dot. The culture (or lack thereof) is noticeable when you look across CT’s leadership and notice they are all cut from the same mold. There is little to no diversity among them and there is only one type of person who gets promoted: the privileged. The preppy boys and girls who grew up at the country club and never had to face any real struggles in their lives. If you do not fit this bill, then I am sorry. You will likely not get far at this company unless you sacrifice your lifeblood and sanity for a promotion (which from what I heard, isn’t even that much of a bump).
Growth is actively being prevented among those that aren’t as fortunate as those bless to be as privileged and have the buddy-buddy type of relationship with the CT elite club. They will literally invent baseless and roundabout reasons to prevent the underprivileged CTers from getting promoted. You will have to argue tooth and nail and provide concrete evidence before they even budge.
Employees are also scared to speak up and there is little room for dissension. They will make you feel ashamed or belittle you if you show any sense of vulnerability or make any attempt to change the status quo.
I am thankful to be done with this godforsaken company and good riddance. CapTech has lost all sense of goodwill from this former CapTecher who used to love this company. Below is a summary of the above as a TL;DR:
1) Privileged, Low EQ (Emotional intelligence) Leadership and Culture
2) Fear and shame are used as tools to motivate employees
3) Increasingly high turnover from long-time CTers that is being hushed up internally (probably to prevent more people from considering quitting)
4) Values money and bottom-line over their employee’s wellbeing
Long story, short. Do you like being bullied or are you masochistic? Then CapTech is the place for you!
