Pros

1. Good Compensation 2. Global Company 3. Global Brand 4. Good office locations 5. Good people 6. Good technology insights

Cons

1. Customers have to deal with multiple practices and infighting (CC vs. TS vs. OS) vs. one-stop shopping for solutions 2. Management is vintage 1950's - authoritarian and dictatorial - do it my way or else! 3. Entrepreneurialism is discouraged 4. VP are the only one with good ideas - few ideas are accepted from lower ranks 5. Business as Unusual is a joke. People hired with specialized skills are then homogenized to look/act like everyone else 6. Very senior people are coerced to perform just like people coming out of school, marginalizing their depth of experience, expertise, interests. 7. VPs manage by fear and intimidation vs. building trust and coaching 8. CapGemini will hit a plateau soon and will be unable to grow due to archaic management practices 9. Financial in recent years has done by massive cost cutting in lack of investment, which will soon be showing up via the lack of long-term growth (hidden by short-term cost cutting)

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
