Pros

The people who work at Capgemini are what makes the job. Marjority of the employees are very intelligent and are willing to help teach others new ideas and concepts. The culture is laid back within the company and people try to make it fun for one another as there are often extremely long hours.

Cons

There is absolutely no work life balance at Capgemini. The decision makers make huge promises to clients which are near impossible to fulfill. As a result, employees are expected to work countless hours and even work 24+ hours at a time without a day off in between. It is a very high stress environment and enormous pressure is placed on people right out of college who may not know the best way to handle these situations. It is unhealthy and people constantly are ill from trying to reach these high expectations.

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.
