Pros

I made a few friend during my time there, but generally speaking there are very few pros.

Cons

My time at Capgemini has been incredibly challenging and disappointing. I am an experienced executive with several years in my professional career and I can say with confidence that this is the most negative experience of my career. Capgemini is incredibly dysfunctional which I attribute to its size and quality of its leaders. Everyone is incredibly uncollaborative, unsupportive, and outright unprofessional. Don't expect any meaningful onboarding, you are expected to just "figure it out". Once you do have a few months under your belt, collaborating with anyone is incredibly challenging. No one is motivated to work with one another, no one returns emails and phone calls, and leadership models this negative behavior on a consistent basis. Beyond this, Capgemini is predominantly South Asian (I would venture to say over 90%). As such, if you are not a part of that clique it will be difficult to be treated with respect and given equal treatment. If you are a more junior employee, you will be treated like one. Your perspectives and experience will not be valued. More so, you will have client access restricted and skipped over for opportunities. I observed this to be even more severe for females.

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.
