Capgemini – “OK, but not great”

Pros

Capgemini promotes a work/life balance. They also promote learning and networking through classes held in offsite locations usually involving global personnel.

Cons

I agree with previous comments that Capgemini is strong in the US, but in smaller countries, the level of professionalism and effectiveness declines sharply. Far too much emphasism is placed on participation in extracurricular activities and who you know as opposed to what you know. Not enough large scale projects are sold so that younger, less experienced consultants, are left stagnating on the bench because there are fewer opportunites to learn from experience in a project with a mix of competencies.

Advice to Senior Management

Refocus your sales efforts to sell more projects and less individual CVs. By selling larger projects, you can have younger consultants benefiting from working with more experienced consultants. Recognize that some of your consultants were brought in to staff projects, not to sell them.
