Pros

International Company, loads of career opportunities. Centralised IT-Support. Slow but reliable business processes. Company phone & laptop may be used for private purposes. Travel time is counted as work time (this rule differs from division to division). Usually one week of training every year (only 2/3 counted as work time though, again this rule differs from division to division)

Cons

If your unlucky, you are five days a week away from home. Your are forced to use Hotels approved by Capgemini when working on-site with a client. Sometimes you have no choice of accomodation at all. The approved Hotels are ok, but not great. Change of job position between different divisions and/or countries is almost impossible. Hardware and software is outdated. A premium has to be paid for company phones other than a blackberry. Travel booking and reimbursement is the employee responsibility. It's quite buerocratic.

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.
