Pros

You're rewarded for acquiring certifications, e.g., £250 for CKA.

My team are kind, intelligent, and genuinely lovely people to work with. There are definitely some great minds at Capgemini. The same could be said for my probation and line managers, who also share the same qualities and are very supportive.

Cons

Very high turnover, which is to be expected from a large consultancy. However, complaints seem to be similar, suggesting Capgemini aren't working towards change.

For example, many complaints were around the bureaucratic process of implementing changes on projects and feeling quite siloed when on them.

From my personal experience, there seems to be this unabating 'need' from bench managers and the resourcing team alike for Software Engineers to acquire certifications, without much thought as to what the learner could gain from it. If I show a preference towards developing my skills outside of certifications, I'm shown an awful lot of passive aggression from both the bench manager and (one of the) resourcing team.

Capgemini seem to be focused on the wrong things, and the revolving door demonstrates this.

Advice to Management

Work towards tangible change. Stop putting pressure on employees to attain certifications and focus on their personal and professional development, outside of certs.
