Pros

You can really feel that they do their best so you can enjoy your work life in any project you participate.

Cons

In some projects in which I participated, I felt that none of my colleagues had the needed seniority for the positions they held. If you seek good code quality, if you understand the importance of best practices, if you want to be surrounded by actual experts or deeply passionate professionals, Capgemini is not the place. Managers only care for the client to be happy, no matter what, and this is achieved at the expense of the developers: poor code quality, thus an awful developer work-life quality. I participated in projects where everybody was seeking to leave, asking to be repositioned on another project or quitting the job.

Advice to Management

If you don't come from a technical background, don't be a manager. You don't understand our job nor our needs.

If you don't understand the importance of code quality (which has a straight impact on the developer's life quality), don't assume the manager role.
