There used to be a character in a British Comedy TV show named "Tim, Nice but Dim". That.
Former cap here. Entrepreneurial is right -- lots of focus on creative ideas, developing innovative solutions, etc., but execution and follow-through is lacking. The people were all really kind and collegial.
If you’re in the US, be aware that the Americas are not seen as a major player, and you’ll always play second fiddle (in terms of budget, top leadership backing, etc) to Europe.
I left because while I felt included and valued, I didn’t see a lot of room for career progression.
Thank you. Great points. I was wondering about that aspect.
Spent 5 years at capgemini. Culture is good. People are nice and I Loved it more than Deloitte that’s for sure.
Chief
5 years in. Culture is good, entrepreneurial, and people are nice. Can feel a bit unstructured at times
How are they in terms of comp - bonuses, stock etc?
Culture in America was really bad for me. People were really nice in the front but stabbed behind my back twice 🙂.
Also back in April 2020 before most other firms start laying off people, Capgemini laid off a bunch of my friends who were excellent consultants and got early promotion. If that doesn’t tell you enough, a bunch of VPs and even the CEO of North America left Capgemini within the past 2 years. They are all trying to jump out of that sinking ship.
I have no idea
Good work life balance, depending on your current project. Career path creation is still in its infancy, and still seems like a dangling carrot with no true payoff. There's no true way to negotiate your yearly raise; it's usually only 0% to 3% increase, sometimes including a bonus (several factors, depending on the business unit). More recently I'm hearing people are being thrown on to projects with little information of what they'll be doing/what's expected.
Overall, most people are nice and there is a good push for continuing education, but there is also a lot of having to make connections to get anything done and there are too many long term projects to feel like actual consulting. Agreeing with a previous comment, there's a lot of discussion, but not a lot of follow through.
