Capgemini

Work-life balance is great, depending on your role.

Training is encouraged.

Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable people.

On-site restaurant, pool table, foosball table.

Progression is hard! Almost every promotion I have had wasn't what I was expecting.

Can be very difficult to get external training funded.

Sometimes you feel like a bum in a seat (someone to just work away at tasks).

People on grad schemes join the company and immediately earn significantly more regardless of ability, and you have to train them despite their degree etc. I don't mind helping people, but this strongly decreased motivation.

You can get pigeonholed in your role, making it even harder to get noticed and progress as your role becomes the norm and what feels like unappreciated efforts.

Salary is lower than market rates.

I have personally experienced passive aggression and invasiveness from a senior manager in the past. This was brushed off like it was nothing.

Cherry picking resources.

Value all employees, not just the ones with a degree.

Keeping people informed on the business direction is good for information.

Salaries are under market rates.

People are not just a number.

Someone who has been here nearly 10 years can be overtaken in salary, but not grade, by a new graduate starter. What is the purpose of grades? Ultimately, it doesn't mean much to the employee.
