Pros

Nice offices and company events

Cons

There’s so much racism at Capgemini. Yes, they hire people of color but the way the black employees are treated is absolutely disgusting. My partner and I both work for Capgemini for the past 18 months and the amount of racism I’ve seen shown towards him is disheartening. As an ally for racism towards anyone I feel as though it is my duty to speak up when I can. I have witnessed managers speak over black employees during meetings, cut them off, question any and everything they do and strategically target them to have them fired. Enough is enough. I find it strange that the racism and micro aggressions are mostly coming from those of the southeast Asian employees. Capgemini boasts about their diversity but never take into account what their black and brown employees experience. Typical corporate office. My partner tries to just keep quiet about it but I can’t allow it to continue. What’s the point in hiring all people of color if you treat the black employees like incompetent criminals at every chance you get?

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.
