Pros

1. Transparent Org Structure 2. Easy access to management and executives 3. Ability to switch leads / roles much easier than most companies 4. Upper management is very understanding of time off and generally allows people to take time off when needed. 5. Generally market comparable pay (when coming in) 6. Excellent perks including a. Profit Sharing b. Bonus percentage (Higher than most consulting companies) c. Paid parking d. Free coffee; sodas and vending stuff at cost e. Employee Stock Option plan (not great but an incentive) `

Cons

1. No semblance or even talk of work life balance from an organization perspective (even if it exists for a lot of people) 2.. Some managers and mid level execs (Snr Mgrs and Principles) are very bad and propagating a culture of work life balance and approving vacation requests (Most people lose 50% of 75% of their vacation each year in spite of working day and night). 3. Clique culture more so than consensus based decision making 4. Disharmony when it comes to teaming with other entities(verticals) / regions (Europe, offshore disconnect) 5. Culture of working through escalation of issues vs. marching to milestones 6. Culture of assuming risk (good for the client) in terms of signing up for fixed cost and time frame deals upfront when scope and complexity are unknown (Affects work life balance) 7. Low percentage of knowledge / artifact re-use (Dependent on smart people re-using stiff that has ) 8. Very small performance and promotion based raises. After a few years (especially at junior and management levels) your pay ends up way below market par

Pros

Working at Capgemini is, for me, fun. I am a lucky person whose hobby is technology and I work for a technology company, who believes in the right technology for the right job. The company is setup mostly on a meritocrisy, of course there are politics as in any job, but if you're willing to do the work then you will do well. Capgemini have very clear corporate policies on Work/Life balance which has benefitted me greatly and many people I know. In general the corporate ethics of Capgemini are very close to my own, which makes it easy to work for them.

Cons

Not much specific to Capgemini, 1. Long hours - but with any Tier 1 Consultancy you work long hours 2. Away from home a lot - that is the life of a consultant 3. Management direction at time - everyone is an opinion and has the right to exercise it.
