Pros

Large organization with options to travel, and good brand equity to be considered for future roles at other IT consultancies.

Cons

Large orgs come with internal politics. I tried advocating for years the area of Capgemini I wanted to transition into but had a lot of trouble leaving the practice I was hired into. Given it's a large org, myself and many others also got pigeonholed into a specific niche role that wasn't very transferrable--if you ended up wanting to help with business development or a PM capacity, it was my experience that it was hard to even get in the room or be considered if you didn't have 6+ years of experience. Ended up getting laid off and only given 1 month of severance despite 4 years of service. No budges even after trying to discuss about it. Ironically helped put together a proposal that took months in the making, got laid off when there was no immediate projects in the pipeline for me, then the large deal I drove got sold a month after I was gone. Seems like there was a disconnect or gap in information with higher leadership on what contributions I was making and felt like I ended up just being another number rather than fostering my growth.

Pros

- They'll hire almost anyone, especially if you're coming right out of college. - Benefits are alright for a starter job.

Cons

- Performance is based on how many projects you are working on, but you cannot join projects on your own, you can only wait for them to have availability to assign one to you (only the case in Houston office). - Raises are not easy to get even though they say it is. The raises are do get are negligible - Mid level consultants are overworked and taken advantage of without appropriate compensation - Training after the 2 weeks orientation is laughable because they do not have dedicated trainers, just overworked mid level consultants who are juggling training and their many other projects. - Instead of allocating consultants to projects equally, they will put one or a few people on a project to do the work of many. This causes an imbalance with overworked consultants on projects and consultants who are not doing anything "on the bench" - They'll lay you off / fire you in a heartbeat. After laying people off, employees remaining are left struggling and even more overworked. Recruiting for new young employees (with lower salaries) continue, and the cycle persists.

Pros

- New office stocked with snacks

Cons

- Boxed in to position with no relevance to education or original job offer due to lack of people in the department - Time theft: Capgemini gives hours of mandatory training that you are either supposed to do during the time you are billing the client or on your own time outside of work unpaid - Cog in the machine: because this is a global company, it's difficult to get answers on most topics. Half the company doesn't respond to their emails and the other half reference you to ask someone else. Very much feel like none of the work I do matters and no one at my company really knows me
