Pros

I've been with the company for a long time and have worked across multiple industry sectors with multiple clients. No two roles have ever been the same, which I like.

I've been free to choose my career path and what training I wanted to do. I've always found them supportive of my career aspirations.

They have invested massively in me as a person, from being promoted to attending courses at the CG University at Les Fontaines, external training courses, coaching, and public speaking. It's a really good balance of technical and soft skills training.

I feel lucky to work with genuinely nice people who look out for each other. We're living through strange times at the moment, but I think people at all levels in Capgemini are looking out for each other.

Cons

Some of our clients demand people be on site a lot, and that has been tricky to work around at times, juggling home and work.

This is changing over time, and COVID has made a massive difference and changed people's attitudes towards remote working. I'm optimistic that there will be less travel in the future.

Some sectors have a lot of "body shopping" roles, and it's possible to feel cut off from the company.

It's a huge company, and so at times, some things feel like they are moving slowly. Year-end processes especially seem slow and heavyweight.

Advice to Management

The messaging around COVID is good and reassuring. The amount of investment in people is excellent, and the variety of roles is good. My only gripe is that our internal processes are dated and slow.
