Pros

- Opportunity to work with well known clients. - The people make Capgemini amazing. - You work on real projects as soon as you start. - Your work is pretty much the same as a normal employee (not treated like a junior). The better you are, the more responsibility you will have. - Software Engineering starting salary as a graduate is decent.

Cons

- Software Engineering graduates are paid the same regardless of region. So London based individuals, goodluck if you are renting out. - After 2 years, pay is no longer competitive and way below market rate. In your 3rd year at the company, you will most likely still earn less or same as a Capgemini Consultant (CC) graduate. - Not really a graduate programme - very little training is provided. Rotations every 6months to a year? nope, you really have to voice yourself to rotate to a different client. They will want to keep you on the same client as long as possible (1.5+ years).

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.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

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.
