Pros
• Joining as a junior (apprentice or grad) is great for Capgemini and for junior joiners (not for everyone else) • Training opportunities • Progression opportunities (career only but don’t expect this to be represented in pay)
Cons
• A prominent misogynistic and bullying culture where issues are only dealt with when they have escalated out of control • Pay makes no sense - they are very secretive and we are told not to discuss pay however when it has been it has highlighted a gender pay gap. Pay also does not reflect what you do, so don’t expect to do work and be paid accordingly. • Promotions are a fight - you have to sell yourself via an essay and then see if people who do t actually know you decide they want to promote you. • Performance reviews are completed by people who you often don’t work with and your grading is determined by whether they can be bothered to help your career or want to focus on somebody else. • Project areas tend to be great environments which you can move around but the communities are shocking clicky environments where a lead will support their close group of followers and make life difficult for people they don’t like - it’s very school like behaviour. • Long hours - if you have jobs to do which a manager classes as your day job, regardless of how many day job tasks you have, you will not be compensated for this time.
