Pros

The people at the Capgemini Nashville office are great. There are many kind and helpful people that work there. Very youthful office: Average age is probably 24 The company gives you quite a lot of time to work on certifications and learning, so utilize that wisely.

Cons

The problem with the Nashville office is that they hired way too many people out of college with no experience while they don't even have any project available. So right now, they have at least 10-20% of the office on the bench(not billable). If you are not billable for a couple months, they are quick to fire you even though you were willing to do the work, there just was no work for you to do. I had high hopes for this company coming out of college. They sell you on a dream, mentioning some of their big clients, but realistically you will be placed on a project where your background doesn't align at all or you will be on the bench where you are a liability to the company. The quality of projects for this office are sometimes horrendous. I was asked to go on a project where I would have to drive 2 hours every day to Kentucky to do tech support at a manufacturing plant(this included night shifts). I was shocked to hear such a reputable consulting company would have projects like this. This is the type of low tier projects this company has. My advice overall is to stay away from the Capgemini overall. You are seen as a pawn, and if this pawn does not deliver on their profit margins, you are disposable. The management has no clue what they are doing and does not take an accountability for their mistakes.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
