Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you value the work-life balance and learning opportunities at Capgemini. Supporting employees in maintaining a healthy balance while also enabling continuous learning is an important focus for us, and it is encouraging to know that these aspects have contributed positively to your experience. We aim to create an environment where employees can build skills through training, knowledge-sharing, and exposure to relevant tools and technologies, while also having the flexibility and support needed to manage personal and professional responsibilities effectively. We also acknowledge your feedback regarding the availability of projects and the experience of being on the bench. We understand that periods without active project allocation can be challenging and may create uncertainty—especially when employees are keen to apply their skills, grow through meaningful work, and maintain momentum in their careers. Project allocation depends on multiple factors such as client demand, skill requirements, location, business priorities, and timing, but we recognize the importance of providing clearer visibility, timely communication, and actionable support during bench periods. Your inputs are valuable as we continue to strengthen how bench management is handled—through improved demand forecasting, more proactive staffing conversations, better alignment of skills to upcoming opportunities, and structured engagement during the interim (such as targeted upskilling, certifications, internal initiatives, shadowing opportunities, or short-term assignments) so that time on the bench is utilized productively and employees remain connected and supported. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts and for being a valued part of Capgemini. Your feedback helps us reinforce what is working well—such as work-life balance and learning—while also highlighting opportunities to improve project allocation experiences and reduce uncertainty during bench periods. We remain committed to enhancing transparency, strengthening staffing support, and enabling employees to continue developing while awaiting the right opportunities. Wishing you continued learning, growth, and success in your career journey ahead.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
