Pros

There are still some very talented people, many of who have been at Cap for a long time. Culturally it's a great place to work and if you are looking to gain experience on a range of large accounts then it's better than any of the other large consultancies. Technically there are some great, very helpful, people delivering projects despite the management in a lot of cases. Training facility in France is excellent if you can get there.

Cons

A lot of good people are leaving. No inflation pay rises for several years and management pushing for increased profits. Many large accounts seem badly run which is frustrating. Promotion above senior technical level means taking on internal management and makes you more expensive (and less attractive) to projects so if you want to deliver there is a limit to how high you can progress.

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.
