Work/life balance is good if you have an easier client. Remote work if your client allows it

Inconvénients

I hate that I’m having to post this review but I genuinely want to warn other women in computer science about working here. Many of us have tried to bring this up to CapTech over the years and nothing ever gets done so here it goes… Women make up 1.9% (1/52 directors and above) of CapTech’s SI (engineering) leadership. The people that decide your compensation and promotion are all men except HR. The SI leadership team involved in staffing you on projects is all men. There is definitely a “boys club” mentality within the engineering practice. Women never present at engineering all hands and the only leadership roles where women are represented in the practice are in community/culture and recruiting. Women developers have been bringing up the lack of diversity in leadership for over 5 years and nothing has changed. You will have to work 10x as hard to get a raise, promotion, or cool project here. You will consistently be asked to do things your male colleagues don’t have to: sending meeting invites, taking notes, planning events, etc. The company taunts its amazing DIB program but really it’s just meetings where people talk about their experiences and nothing ever gets done. Just message any girl developer from this company on linkedin and we will tell you the truth!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, although I will admit that this is both sad to hear and tough to digest. I encourage you to reach out to myself or any member of the HR team, as we'd like to better understand this from your point of view. In response to the concerns you laid out, I agree that we lack female representation at the top leadership levels of our technical teams, but I also recognize that this is not something that can be solved overnight. As I look back over the last 5 years at CapTech, I am so excited by and proud of the progress we have made in helping strong, technically oriented women advance within the company. We currently have a solid pipeline of female talent who are rapidly emerging as top technical leaders. Looking out over the next 5-7 years, we have several women leaders who will gain the necessary experience to move into company-wide leadership roles. At the present time, I see them filling some of our more "people oriented" leadership roles - this is a positive start as these roles provide great insight into our operations and can lead to broader opportunities. Our SI practice has been a leader in soliciting volunteers and having an application process when leadership vacancies occur, and everyone is invited and welcome to apply. I agree we have work to do to continue to bolster ALL of our strong emerging technical leaders, and I am very optimistic that our current leadership team is dedicated to helping give everyone new, challenging projects that best support our clients and our company. From where I sit, I am seeing great progress to date and momentum for the future. Again, I'd love to connect. -Katy Apostolides, Managing Director - HR
