Pros
- Many individual team members were exceptionally motivated and talented. - Work-life balance is often better than other consultancies.
Cons
- More discrimination than I have seen in any other modern corporate environment. Asian and Black staff treated like garbage and insulted behind their backs. Gay members of staff are targeted to be managed out as soon as their orientation becomes obvious. Women treated entirely as a way to charm clients and entirely absent from senior management. - Relationship with clients depends heavily on manipulating profit margins and overcharging for staff with very little experience. Profits seem to heavily rely on manipulation of margins and selling undertrained staff as being several grades above their actual grade. Actual work that is delivered is usually garbage - need to get used to everyone outside the management of your clients despising you as all of Cap's energy is focused on finding naive members of middle/senior management to target in order to sell more roles. - Managers totally disconnected from what's going on with their staff. - Total lack of interest in career development of staff. - 'Clique' atmosphere where hotel culture means that having dinner with the right people is the path to promotion. - Terrible pay and insultingly small increments.
