Capgemini

Capgemini is not for the faint of heart; you have to be bold and take control of your own destiny to thrive. If you do that, there are a lot of opportunities. The leadership is willing to try new things if a compelling case can be made for the direction. Decide your own destiny, look for and create opportunities, and you'll do well.

Don't expect anyone to pick you out of the crowd and promote you just for keeping your head down and working hard. That may happen in the entry-level stages, but it ends pretty quickly.

Most Capgemini managers are going to leave you right where you are if you're keeping the client happy and doing a good job, unless you give them a reason (and a plan) to change things.

It can also be very challenging to just understand the structure of the organization. It's big, it changes a lot, it's multinational, and very entrepreneurial. There are a lot of little one-off groups that don't seem to fit any particular model.

There is a mountain of information available in internal resources, and countless hidden treasure troves of information in places you won't find out about until you've been here a while, but there's no road map.

Giving a very clear and consistent view of the organization to the staff would help everyone cross-sell, provide value to clients, and just make people feel more at home.
