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

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.
