Pros

- Decent healthcare rates - Great reachback to Capgemini Global and Americas capabilities and personnel allows the company to compete with larger firms like Deloitte, Accenture, etc. - Most people at the company see this as a Pro: no visibility as to what people are doing so there is no accountability across the company which allows people to do hardly any work

Cons

Capgemini Government Solutions (the Government Contracting subsidiary of Capgemini) is hands down the most toxic place I've ever worked. Superiors across every level of the company up to the newly appointed CEO berate the staff, cuss you out, destroy morale, limit every resource imaginable, and give zero acknowledgment of any work, success, dedication, etc. all to create the worst day-to-day working environment you could imagine. - No career path whatsoever. You are hired for one job and they intend to use you as much as possible and wait for you to get burned out and leave before they would ever promote you, give you a raise, etc. - Personnel are often hired for one job and switched to another not long after they start. - No defined path for promotions, raises, or bonuses - 'Success' is purposely left undefined so they can continue to move the goalposts to allow them to never pay out full bonus amounts (if at all) or give promotions, raises, etc. - Fully expected to work multiple full-time positions without corresponding compensation due to the lack of resources across entire organization. - Resources are few and far between, leaving the same small group of people to do all the work. - Work/life balance is non-existent. You will work weeks and weeks with typical days ending around 2-3am due to lack of resources. - Few, if any proposal resources - Large percentage of personnel that work in the company are not familiar with Government Contracting Industry practices, standards, etc. - Absolutely zero acknowledgment of any sort of hard work, success, dedication, etc. In the year plus I worked here, I heard a true 'thank you' from any superior maybe 3 times. - Upper management firewalls themselves off of any responsibility, accountability, etc. 95% of all of the work done in the company is performed by Manager level and below. Senior Managers and up always find a way to push the work down to other levels. - HR is a MAJOR liability for the company. Purposefully leave investigations incomplete, argue with staff, try to withhold payouts when personnel leave the company, unable to perform simple HR tasks. Incredibly unprofessional.

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.
