The culture is very open. I have been here about 12 years and have always found my managers and their managers very approachable. That said, a lot depends on your practice. And the person who leads it.
Capgemini has a different way of working than D, A and Indian providers. Not to say that one is better than other but they are different.
I find Capgemini to be less aggressive than other firms. It is a little more stable than the big 4.
If you are moving from the Indian IT firms , you will find that the way you interact with clients is a lot different. More collaborative and less of what can I do for you.
If you are moving from the big 4, the way you interact with clients is a little different. Less of this is how it should be done and again more collaborative. What can we get done together.
Hope that helps
lol it’s capgemini
A1 - the marketing name is Capgemini, 1 word, capitalized. The legal entity name for the group of companies is Cap Gemini, S.A.
At Capgemini, it’s a very collaborative team environment, people try to help each other, supportive culture, want to do what’s right for the clients, I usually never work on weekends but will work a lot during the week depending on the project. The people are people who I genuinely want to hang out with too. It’s just a very good culture. It’s also very entrepreneurial.
Capgemini? Sounds like the next sketchy crypto currency.
Like everywhere, it has its ups and downs. I've been here 7 years and had some great projects and leaders, along with my share of hellish projects and absentee leaders. You definitely want to negotiate a good starting salary as annual increases are frequently mediocre
It's a fine place to work. I've worked closely in multiple multi-vendor environments with consultants from across the board (HCL, PwC, Accenture, IBM, and Deloitte on the product agnostic implementation side). I can tell you, from conversations over dinner, drinks, a run, etc, that every one of them has gripes about their company. I personally think Capgemini is a good place to work, but as much as anywhere else, there is good and bad, and a lot of it is about your network, so a change of scenery can be challenging in that area. I can get into more detail about my experience 1:1 if you want to share a burner.
Also, I have seen a lot of people leave Capgemini and then come back. A lot of them site the reason that the grass on the other side is not as green as they thought it would be. Some people complain about salary. I personally don’t think the differential is worth cribbing about. I have been able to manage my workload very well to have a good work-life balance. Apart from travel , I have not heard people crib about the work life balance either.
I enjoyed my +5 years there. Yes, it isn’t perfect but what firms are. Some leadership changes were questionable at best but were eventually rectified. I liked the people and leadership there. Pay may not be on par with other firms
@M1 where are you at now?
@M1 what made you leave? It's a good sign that you're saying positive things after leaving
Is it capgemini or cap gemini
Also agree with the sentiments that big 4 is more what we can do for you. I miss being a bit more collaborative with the clients we work with
OP- I left cause I got approached by B4 and thought I wanted a change of scenery. But like M3 said, grass is not always greener. I really miss the collaboration and team members aren’t trying to always stab you in the back. Maybe one day I’ll go back.
