Pros

The people at the Capgemini Nashville office are great. There are many kind and helpful people that work there. Very youthful office: Average age is probably 24 The company gives you quite a lot of time to work on certifications and learning, so utilize that wisely.

Cons

The problem with the Nashville office is that they hired way too many people out of college with no experience while they don't even have any project available. So right now, they have at least 10-20% of the office on the bench(not billable). If you are not billable for a couple months, they are quick to fire you even though you were willing to do the work, there just was no work for you to do. I had high hopes for this company coming out of college. They sell you on a dream, mentioning some of their big clients, but realistically you will be placed on a project where your background doesn't align at all or you will be on the bench where you are a liability to the company. The quality of projects for this office are sometimes horrendous. I was asked to go on a project where I would have to drive 2 hours every day to Kentucky to do tech support at a manufacturing plant(this included night shifts). I was shocked to hear such a reputable consulting company would have projects like this. This is the type of low tier projects this company has. My advice overall is to stay away from the Capgemini overall. You are seen as a pawn, and if this pawn does not deliver on their profit margins, you are disposable. The management has no clue what they are doing and does not take an accountability for their mistakes.

Pros

Company provides training on soft skills and technical skills prior to placing on a project.

Cons

Client contracts can end unexpectedly so you may not get to work on a project long term and change from project to project.

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.
