Capgemini

They are very understanding of family issues.

Hybrid work.

A decent starting point to get a clearance and into the government.

Poor management of both work and workers.

After two years, there is a high chance that they will let you go.

Project sprint pacing is awful.

Trend-chasing company and work culture mindset.

They need to step up their game by holding fewer meetings and providing more guidance on what needs to be done. Numerous projects have failed due to a lack of accountability and the looming fear of offending clients. Work took so long to complete, if not start, due to having meetings on top of meetings that led to nothing but more confusion. The main things you will hear from upper management are:

• "I don't know"
• "Let me find out"
• "I will have to ask someone about this topic"

They are more concerned about the look of work culture and trend chasing than getting work done. And whatever is popular in the news, they will try to integrate it into the workforce. It's sad to the point that even a junior role can identify flaws and propose solutions. Still, they are so preoccupied with when the next work gathering is going to take place or who will take the blame for something, again focusing on the front-facing value of the company, rather than its inner workings.

Finally, if you are in a junior role, you are an asset, not a person. They will cut you once your time is up, and if there are no projects. This usually happens around 2 years or so.

This needs to change, particularly among PMs and upper management, if you want to survive the onslaught of what Booze Allen is doing to you in the DC area. This is why you can't keep projects and continually lose out on new ones.
