I will be working for Capgemini soon. Does anyone know how culture and work life balance (hours, events, PTO) is? I've had mixed answers but mostly positive (which is why I accepted in the first place). I know everything depends, but I want to hear about first-hand experience or even if you've heard from a friend/colleague.

Thanks.

Recently left Capgemini after being there for several years. Obviously it depends on group / project, but long hours / working into the evening is not uncommon. May not be as intense as MBB but definitely not standard 8-5. Biggest issue with Capgemini is that they pay way below market rate and the promo process is based on arbitrary factors and fixed time in grade vs actual merit or contributions
