Capgemini

• Plenty of opportunity to cross-skill and take on new roles and challenges, keeping you interested in your job as it is always evolving.
• Making a major effort to be more "Agile" / Technology Driven (unusual for a large consultancy).
• Respect for work-life balance.
• Tries to be socially / environmentally responsible.
• Range of projects & clients.
• Good promotion tracks for juniors (but more on this in cons).
• Some very supportive managers.

The promotion process can depend on a manager letting you submit a case, rather than individual merit.

For example: My manager gave me feedback telling me I was excelling in a role designed for someone double my grade, with excellent client feedback. Twice I tried to submit a promotion case, sponsored by staff more senior than my manager, and both times was told I couldn't because it was the "wrong time" by my manager.

I should say this is the same as in any major business – some managers are good and some are bad. I have since moved (which this manager didn't want me to do, as he did not want to lose me) and got the promotion I wanted within 6 months in my new team.

This does highlight a big plus of Capgemini, though, in that they support rotation – so if you want to leave your area for whatever reason, it is normally possible.

Make the promotion process more transparent, and do not allow managers to stop people submitting promotion cases. Anyone should be able to submit a case, and then it should be accepted or rejected based on the case's merit or the business environment.
