Pros

often can work with very intelligent people changing job responsibilities competitive compensation work life balance can be great depending on the project probably awesome if you are in software

Cons

1. management -dominated- by indian men. if you aren't an indian man it seems to be unable to be promoted 2. job security is poor. the capgemini model is to outsource as much work as possible to india, at all costs. US engineers are used to generate sales, ultimately to send all the work to india. The US resources then are too expensive, so they are let go when work slows down 3. despite claiming "get the future you want" and claiming to pride themselves on their talent, the company will lay people off before ever even suggesting something like training, development, different roles, etc. They will let you go and just hire someone else, regardless of your history/track record 4.multi-billion dollar company has the cheapest travel policy of all time. unless you're a high level manager you can't fly anything other than coach.

Good but be careful

Pros

Good place to start career with a solid company name to put on your resume also. In theory decent structure. Good young environment in office. Lot of good people. Lot of opportunities to learn. Alot of your co-workers want to help you. Work/life balance is pretty solid especially relative to other companies. Even if you get stuck with a tougher client its still really not too bad relative to other companies.

Cons

Alot of the organization is better in theory/on paper than the actual reality of it. Constant shuffling of hierarchy. Ceiling on how far you can rise in the company, the best employees I know all were gone within 2 years of joining. Everything comes down to avoiding the bench at all costs for any extended period of time even if they will disingenuously tell you "we really try to avoid at all costs laying off Grade A employees" or "it takes being on the bench for close to a year to be vulnerable to lay-offs". Alot of their problems stem from way overhiring a few years ago, not knowing what to do when the tech bubble burst, and they are still feeling the effects of that 18-24 months later.
