Pros

If you have the abliity to create revenue for the company, Sogeti is a great place for you to work . I'm sure that people who create revenue through the acquisition of new business are aggressively promoted and constantly praised for their work. Sogeti rewards profitability and if you are interested in creating margins and getting their people put on engagements, again, this is the place for you. A good reason to work for Sogeti would be if you are already an experienced consultant and have a client list. They are very fond of the pursuit of new places to contract.

Cons

Sogeti is completely a bottom line company. The benefits are substandard and the people placing consultants do not have much in the way of a technical background. Most people peddle products to get a cut of licensing (Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, etc.). Others who don't necessarily peddle products are simply trying to get the consultants that work for Sogeti placed. Skill set is not important to them. If you are a more experienced and specialized consultant, you should not expect the account managers to seek out business related at all to your specialty. In fact, if you have experience, you will probably be expected to create revenue yourself.

Pros

Great mentorship, great career development such as trainings, certifications, education reimbursement. It is a good place to expand your skills and managers will step in and help you understand how to navigate tricky situations especially when clients are difficult.

Cons

Low pay. They tell potential hires about "the bench" and how you can still get bench pay when you're not billing at a client while they look for your next opportunity. Increasingly, they lay people off, sometimes after only a few days or right as you hit the bench. Often ask you to work beyond normal 8-5 contracting hours to contribute to the company after a full day of billable work or doing additional trainings on your own time (nights, weekends, using your own PTO). Quite often they paint a rosy picture during monthly internal updates, so you think you're on track for your full bonus payout and then when the year closes, they say other offices didn't make their numbers so our bonuses are lower.
