Capgemini

I had good colleagues and line managers that meant well and tried to make the best out of the situation. There is a good benefit scheme in place.

Cap has become a bodyshop where your personal well-being is of no interest other than to your nearest colleagues. I went through difficult times at home after having commuted for about two hours each way over two years, and asked to get on a project closer to home (there were plenty of them). First, it was a yes, then silence for two weeks, and finally I got moved 4.5 hours away from home.

The review system is a joke. You will not get promotion unless you are in with the right people. This is not a place for those who want to be rewarded for their efforts; Cap does not pay well. I made a salary jump of a good 24% getting a job in the same sort of role but with a different company.

You need to look at how you can get your best employees to stay and create a culture that makes people proud of working at Cap. Good people should be rewarded, not having to fight with a rigid and work-demanding review system that is a real annoyance and a nuisance, and which takes way too much focus away from the real work.
