Pros

Some good people. If you get on a secure project with a decent team, you'll be OK temporarily.

Cons

Capgemini started out well for me, on a decent project. Then the project started to be defunded by the customer, and overnight me and some others were unceremoniously thrown off the WhatsApp group and the project. No one would talk to us (these people I considered friends after 8 months of tough work). We found ourselves on "the bench" which is where you go whilst waiting for a new project. Everything then is based on what the previous integration manager says about you, they hold all the power, and a lot of them are awful people. Everyone is scared to speak out because they're paranoid of upsetting anyone, so these practices continue. I then spent months going from one "red" project to another, trying to put out fires. The moment you walk away, the fire starts again because they put their people on the next problem. An absolutely unsettling, upsetting experience, which I could never recommend.

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.

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.
