Capgemini

Capgemini has a large number of very competent people, so it is a good place to learn from others. The architects' community is very strong, as is their training in IAF. The university in France is good fun, and there are opportunities both to learn and to teach others.

Capgemini was very political, and it was more about who you know, not what you know. The middle management seemed to want to protect their positions, which is not unusual in large consultancies.

If you want to do pure consulting work, then this is a good place to work. However, given their reliance on the HMRC contract, they are not aggressive in bidding for new large work and recently have been bidding as subs, not primes.

Sort out the way in which staff are assessed, etc. This will improve morale and also ensure the best people rise to the top.
