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.

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.
