Capgemini

In my short time at Capgemini, I gained good insight into the company's way of working and culture. As a globally operating player in the software industry, Capgemini is characterized by its excellent reputation. I particularly noticed how much value the company places on flexibility – both in terms of working hours and in relation to development opportunities for its employees.

As a Software Engineer, I observed that Capgemini offers diverse career paths. Those who show interest can gain experience not only in technical areas but also in management or data analytics roles. This reflects the company's commitment to the professional development of its employees and offers opportunities for those who wish to steer their careers in different directions.

The project work was exciting and provided insights into various industries and technologies. Furthermore, the team was characterized by open and honest communication, which made collaboration particularly pleasant. The training programs that Capgemini offers in-house are tailor-made and clearly stand out from standard offerings.

Particularly noteworthy is the supervisor behavior at Capgemini, which I found to be first-class. The managers were always supportive, professional, and approachable at all times, which significantly contributed to a positive working atmosphere.

Furthermore, the company offers excellent networking opportunities, not only at its own location but also company-wide. This opens up opportunities for employees to make valuable professional contacts and exchange experiences.

Overall, Capgemini is an attractive employer in the software industry, characterized by its flexibility, exciting projects, a supportive corporate culture, and exemplary supervisor behavior. This short period at Capgemini provided me with valuable insights and experiences that I find enriching for anyone who wants to advance their career in the software industry.

During my time at Capgemini, I also noticed aspects that could be improved.

One point that struck me was the starting salary. As a career changer entering the industry, I found the offered salary to be somewhat lower than I had expected. However, it is important to mention that this may have been due to my status as a career changer.

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that while the starting salary was somewhat lower in my case, Capgemini generally offers competitive salaries compared to other consulting firms in the industry. This suggests that the company remains competitive in the broader market, especially considering the diverse career and development opportunities it offers.

Overall, Capgemini could reconsider its salary offers for career changers to ensure they are attractive and competitive for all new employees, regardless of their previous career path.
