Great for starting out, but a growing list of problems - Sr Consultant CapTech Employee Review

-Culture has largely gone downhill since about 2022. Employees seemed to rally in response to COVID. Management was largely transparent and acted quickly to make some tough decisions that ultimately lead to a fair distribution of the hardship across the organization. During the 2023 tech bubble/panic, however, leadership kept employees largely in the dark about the company's plans for layoffs and executed separations poorly. Morale took a major hit as a result. -As mentioned in other reviews, changes to the bonus structure made in 2022-ish make it nearly impossible to work reasonable hours, take your PTO (part of the comp package), and get a bonus. Despite many, many employees voicing concerns about this for years, the policy was not improved. -Design and creative consultants are often leveraged to engage in very important business development and innovation work outside of client responsibilities that is not rewarded in bonuses or promotions. -Pathways to promotion are not as clear-cut as the company-provided guidance makes out. -Compensation is quite low compared to other consulting and in-house firms. Improvements to the above could make up for some of this but with the way inflation has been, I don't think it would be enough.
