Pros

- Big name clients - Good pay for starters

Cons

- Training for college hires doesn't represent open needs - university recruitment is totally mismanaged - No choice in roles/projects - limited number of projects to choose from and the choice is made for you by the resource managers who couldn't care less about your personal career path/ambitions/interests/ or even talents for that matter - No social camaraderie - out of about 500 employees in LA area, only a group of 10-20 actively participates in social events (if and when those ever happen) - Lacking talent - people's skills are generally below average across the board. Poor communication skills, managers lacking basic people and project management knowledge - Too much politics within projects and on corporate level - transparency is almost discouraged; management "initiatives"/promises never live to full fruition - Arcane internal technology/tools - own helpdesk is a disaster! So inefficient and frustrating. Slow computers that keep being recycled after over 5 years of use! Time and expense tool is the most ridiculous waste of time - No flexibility - long hours at client site, travelling, nightly offshore calls; sick leaves, work from home and flexible schedule request are not rejected, but highly looked down upon

Pros

Good learning and culture department

Cons

FSGBU which was perhaps one of the best places to work for as a small firm Kanbay, has seen an exponential decline in its culture, people and organization fundamentals. The senior management has no long term vision and most of them are around to simply make a quick buck and leave the organization. some major cons are - complete lack of respect for associates, low pay, lots of mergers with smaller companies but complete lack of integration of work cultures, fsgbu india treated as sweat shop, bureaucratic, pathetic support functions (hr, it, facilities)

Pros

Capgemini UK Plc is a great company and I know many of the allocated resources there to be happy. Having communicated with operations within I would say 'go for it'; Capgemini are a great company. This entry pertains to Financial Services Global Business Unit, of which I have nothing positive to say.

Cons

I have been a part of Capgemini, FS GBU for over a year now and have enough experience to confidently advise as to the following. Capgemini is a good company to work for, however FS GBU is significantly at odds with this statement through poor integration. FS GBU is predominantly an Indian business unit having been constructed from personnel absorbed through the take-over of Kanbay some years ago. Whereas personnel globally are all perfectly decent people, the company ethic is blurred and marred through a lack of integration mechanics. I am a staff member from the UK and am speaking as such. I am in direct contact with the lion's share of FS UK personnel and can say with confidence that not a one of these is proud to work for Capgemini, FS GBU. Communications are inappropriately focused; management of personal development is targeted on specific locations; remuneration is based upon an under-resourced IT function and subsequently ineffective; operations are managed on the principles of one locations legislative culture without any education being provided to assist. I am already starting to rant, a habit which has become a standard part of the working day to colleagues I communicate with regularly. I would like to offer something positive, however at this time my advice is as follows: work for Capgemini, they are a great company, but avoid FS GBU like the plague.
