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 position they had. 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 in an other project or quitting the job.

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.
