Pros

1. Good Compensation 2. Global Company 3. Global Brand 4. Good office locations 5. Good people 6. Good technology insights

Cons

1. Customers have to deal with multiple practices and infighting (CC vs. TS vs. OS) vs. one-stop shopping for solutions 2. Management is vintage 1950's - authoritarian and dictatorial - do it my way or else! 3. Entrepreneurialism is discouraged 4. VP are the only one with good ideas - few ideas are accepted from lower ranks 5. Business as Unusual is a joke. People hired with specialized skills are then homogenized to look/act like everyone else 6. Very senior people are coerced to perform just like people coming out of school, marginalizing their depth of experience, expertise, interests. 7. VPs manage by fear and intimidation vs. building trust and coaching 8. CapGemini will hit a plateau soon and will be unable to grow due to archaic management practices 9. Financial in recent years has done by massive cost cutting in lack of investment, which will soon be showing up via the lack of long-term growth (hidden by short-term cost cutting)

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.
