Pros

Not as corporate as the bigger consultancies.

Cons

Unless you are a graduate, who are currently receiving £4K pay rises every 12 months based on them ticking all their grad boxes or a senior consultant do not expect to receive any form of pay rise that is close to substantial. Capgemini's biggest issue is their transparency, I went from earning more than a grad friend in the first year to earning almost £7.5k less than him by end of the second year, when I questioned this management told me it was because it was from a different "pot" of money!! We were doing the same job at the same grade, how can this behaviour be justified by such a large company!!

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
