Not a bad employer, but only a mediocre salary for a lot of traveling

Pros

International company with loads of career opportunities.

Centralized IT support. Slow but reliable business processes. Company phone and laptop may be used for private purposes.

Travel time is counted as work time (this rule differs from division to division).

Usually one week of training every year (only 2/3 counted as work time, again this rule differs from division to division).

Cons

If you're unlucky, you are five days a week away from home. You are forced to use hotels approved by Capgemini when working on-site with a client. Sometimes you have no choice of accommodation at all. The approved hotels are ok, but not great.

Change of job position between different divisions and/or countries is almost impossible.

Hardware and software is outdated. A premium has to be paid for company phones other than a BlackBerry.

Travel booking and reimbursement is the employee's responsibility. It's quite bureaucratic.

Advice to Management

Really live Capgemini values.
