Pros

When joined Capgemini it was a dream come true. I was lucky enough to get a project which was fairly close to my home. The tech stack of the project matched my previous experience and was working with the latest technologies.

Cons

Despite having put a lot of hours in to make sure projects succeed and making sure client satisfaction is optimal I didn't feel appreciated. In fact people who had insignificant roles on projects get promotions and raises. Why? Politics of course. If you don't play the corporate ballgame then you have lost before the competition has even begun.

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.
