A good consultancy to start building your skills, but Capgemini is forever on the leading edge of mediocrity
Pros
Diverse workforce with excellent knowledge artifacts from global, leading practice experts. If you like to travel and are looking to immerse yourself in the culture, Capgemini is a good place to start your career.
Cons
Capgemini US is a shadow of the rest of the global Capgemini organization and it's hard not to feel like the homely, unloved little brother no one talks about. Capgemini dominates many of the European markets in which it competes, lavishing perks upon those employees, while Capgemini US is at best a middling consultancy known for SAP installations. These are perceptions management is well aware of and yet is largely unable to meaningfully address. The best talent at Capgemini moves on eventually to the bigger firms for more money and better recognition while the remaining employees are shuffled around waiting to see if the latest restructuring will change the status quo. If you have an offer with another leading consulting firm, there is no compelling reason to pick Capgemini.
