Pros
Salaries were top of the line till Kanbay was itself. After it was acquired and later became their FS Business Unit, salaries and growth immediately started showing stagnation.
Cons
Kanbay folks could never be integrated with Capgemini, they were always the outsiders. The only guy who benefited was the Australian owner who rebranded Kanbay around 2005 only to sell it 2 years later. I was part of 1500 folks who were laid off in 2009, who were told to "resign" to get proper relieving document and get 3 months salary as notice. It broke my morale and my self-confidence. The surprising part was that they came back with a job-offer within 3 months, which I declined. What kind of a organisation lacks a business view 3 months on the horizon, that it takes a risk of putting reputation at stake through lay-offs.
