Pros

Generally a good brand consultancy firm, it will look good on your cv and to your future employers. Exposure to big complex projects, which can challenge you but also good for the experience and development. Some great colleagues, very talented and knowledgable people.

Cons

Processes are horrific, dated and you genuinely don't get the feeling you work for Capgemini when you are 100% assigned to a Client project which is a long term engagement. Processes within the company are slow, dated, confusing. Training is virtually nothing as well as onboarding. Pay is low in comparison to other consultancy firms and promotions are difficult to obtain. Bonuses are only applicable to very senior positions.Be prepared to travel and sacrifice work life balance if you are staffed on a project which is not near your base.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

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.
