Avoid working here

Pros

-The people are generally nice and helpful to work with on projects - Many people who work here are apathetic about it, therefore if you are in this category you can generally get away without doing much work

Cons

-The pay and compensation package is much lower than competitors and yearly increases for even top performers are 3-5% -As mentioned in other reviews mediocrity is rampant across all parts of the organization -The organization stresses it is entrepreneurial but this is just a poor excuse for poor management and the lack internal processes and organization -Given its low position int the market compared to competitors the terms of sale for projects are often poor resulting in inability for flexibility in working remote, staying at good hotels, and the offshore/onshore mix -VPs are top management are very uninvolved in internal activities or personally developing the team or people -Attrition is very high -Professionalism across all aspects of the organization is low -The company in the US acts at though it wants to be a strategy consulting firm and advisor to clients, but its competitors and its strategy are really aligned with that of Indian Pure Plays (Tata, Infosys, etc). -Very few women and diversity at top levels of the organization. About less than 10 females VPs in the US in client facing roles. -Because Capgemini struggles to win deals, it rarely offers flexible arrangements for projects, while most competitors are increasingly focused on this to retain top talent.

Pros

Decent beginning pay, benefits, and PTO. Policy for paid medical leave is exceptional.

Cons

Blatantly chauvenistic, monolithic and incapable of real progress, poor planning and decision making at all levels cost the company many accounts and therefore cost lost of individuals' their jobs, jobs are continually outsourced to India, do NOT come to work for this company if you are an administrative assistant, office manager, etc. You've been warned!

Pros

Great learning experiences, you can assume leadership responsibilities(note - the responsibilities, not the position!) very quickly, big name clients and really interesting projects. Opportunity to meet a lot of different people not just within the company but also in the client companies. If you are open to travel , it is even better

Cons

No work life balance. Highly political(La office) A number of people I worked with in my team were juniors on a visa who had no idea how to deal with people and were very focused not on doing a good job but avoiding responsibilities for mistakes they made. Leadership especially in the Los Angeles area seems content on getting the job done, instead of weeding out poor performers or encouraging good performers. Being promoted comes down to whether you are on good terms with your manager. I have seen a number of people totally mismanage a team, heard them claiming credit for an issue somebody else in the team fixed (in meetings where that person is not invited), managers not giving out all the info required for the team to do a job and then coming in at the last moment with the missing information and looking like a hero in front of the client etc. If you can play the game in a political environment, then go for it. Most people I know prefer to walk away with their sanity intact, which is what I also did.
