Pluspunten

The only pro is you work on a variety of projects and you will develop a broad skillset. If you are looking for developing specific skills Capgemini is not the place. They manage to hire good resources, but they are unable to retain talent, and have a high turnover rate (nearly 25%).

Minpunten

Bad pay, long work hours, management is only concerned about billing the most number of hours to the client. I was with the company for 4 years, the only reason being my work visa situation prevented me from changing jobs. The management reviews are especially bad, with even my reviewer acknowledging that he had no good reason. My people manager actually encouraged me to change jobs, just before he left for similar reasons. In the four years that I was with the company I had no training approved and budget is usually limited. If you are on a project and unable to make time you are not likely to be approved for training. The hard workers and resources who are valuable rarely get to go on training because they do not get time off projects. The company has poor focus on strategy and has no clear goal on where it wants to be in the competitive consulting space. They tried competing with larger firms such as IBM, Accenture but could not win when compared to the more wholesome offerings of the above 2 companies. They changed track and are now competing with firms such as Infosys, TCS by outsourcing and developing offshore centers, but they lack the know how on managing large offshore teams. There is constant friction between onsite managers and offshore resources, with both entities often working in opposing directions. They lack industry focus and as I mentioned above resources who have worked on long term projects in a certain area are pulled out and put into completely irrelevant sectors. In my four years, I have worked in the utility industry, auto industry, retail and manufacturing. With no clear focus on your expertise you will be jack of all master of none.

Pluspunten

there are no pros for this company

Minpunten

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
