Pros

some very talented people work for Cap strong people-focussed culture flat culture, everyone has a voice and everyone's opinion is listended to and seemingly valued culture of hard work but fun environment big clients and complex interesting projects flexible and accommodating towards personal circumstances

Cons

struggles with it's brand although this is getting better leadership comms has improved but company has seems to have lost its dynamism at the top over the past couple of years salaries are average, would rather reward you through being nominated by colleagues for special achievements. At the end of the year managers will talk about their pots of money and there not being enough left/ to go round. pay rates fall well out of line with market rates. loyalty is not rewarded. offshores or outsources some of the fundamentals and clearly not working well but agenda pushed through nevertheless importance placed on employee utilisation is high and is at the expense of working some of its employees into the ground

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
