Pros

Training provision is good Customer-facing staff are hard-working and highly competent

Cons

Review process (My Path) is completely unfit for purpose. Very top heavy with senior management It's not enough to excel in your role - you will not get any recognition or promotion. You have to play the corporate game to get raises or promotions. The shady "calibration" meeting which set a person's grade for the year are vehicles for senior managers to rewards their pals and those empty vessels who are most vocal within "the community"

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. It’s good to hear that you’re making the most of the training on offer at Capgemini, and that you’re working alongside some really hard working and highly skilled colleagues. We acknowledge that you are uncomfortable with your experience of your performance review. Capgemini is very open and there is the opportunity to speak to your manager or to HR, we would encourage you to explore these routes.

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.
