I worked for nearly two decades, getting great reviews each year. The people I worked with were great and very work/life balance friendly.However my pay flat lined for 10 years, even though I was flexible and worked on whatever project I was asked to work on.good company, very badly rewardedI left to get a similar job elsewhere where I am now getting 50% more!!

Pros

culture, work life balance, flex benefits

Cons

salary.

Great community culture, poor pay and progression

Business Analyst (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 8 June 2022

Direct managers have very little influence over supporting progression. Pay and progression is limited despite performing well and receiving good client feedback.

Pros

Good variety of benefits

Cons

Poor pay and progression

Only good part is job security. But rest all is worst, performance review cycles are of no use.Evaluation of performance is mainly on your connects not job skills

Pros

Meh

Stress Engineer (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 5 May 2022

Low salary with few revisions despite showcasing good performance. The projects assigned can be nice. Although it varies in a case to case basis. It's a french roulette.

Its a generic call centre, don't get too excited.

Tier 2 Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee) - Inverness, Highland - 27 April 2022

A very meh place to work in general. If you wish to progress in IT this isn't a bad place to work to hopefully progress in the industry. There is very much a sink or swim way of work in regards to training with little to no organisation to get you started and working.Be aware blame culture exists as well as crunch culture with little to no support from Management.

Overall nice place to work, but could do with improvements in areas.

Security Consultant (Current Employee) - Telford, Shropshire - 13 April 2022

Capgemini overall is a nice corporate company to work for. They have seven values that they pride themselves on, and most of the time they stay true to those values. Work life balance depends on what engagement you are on. You can be away from home for long stints, living out of suitcases, staying in hotels, or you could be working on an engagement that requires you to work from a Capgemini office and has relatively good work life balance. Since the pandemic WFH has become more widespread and not that many people have actually returned to the offices.I've worked on accounts where you do your standard hours and that's enough, and I've worked on projects where you're always working over your hours so, it really depends on the particular engagement.I would say that pay is in line (well maybe a bit below avg) with the market for the roles, but how they get you is by not promoting you, when you are working at a level that is higher than your current role. If your face doesn't fit, you have to fight to get the opportunities you deserve. If you 'big yourself up' and get the right manager, you can go places, but if you have an incompetent manager who doesn't have your best interests at heart, you will stagnate and will be going nowhere!Plus in certain areas there is not a lot of diversity, although they do spit out a lot of corporate jargon about inclusivity. There is a lot of internal bureaucracy and some of the internal systems are clunky and could do with updating.Also you don't get a lot of time to do administrative tasks, such as timesheets/expenses and giving back -

Pros

Good selection of benefits, can be relaxed depending on the account you work on, Travel

Cons

Long hours, Travel, Pay and progression can be slow.

Alright

Advanced Consultant (Current Employee) - United Kingdom - 15 February 2022

Pays good work can be boring, times without work. Management need to communicate with employees more often. Not sure about progression routes

Too many managers and top tier managers made this an uncomfortable place to work.

Service Lead (Former Employee) - Telford, Shropshire - 8 February 2022

Busy days, productive and genuinely care about our client’s needs. Lots of support and positive working culture amongst colleagues.However, it became apparent that promotions of inexperienced staff over staff who were already carrying out those roles. In some cases, those roles had interviews that were not disclosed. This muddied the waters especially amongst senior levels where frequent management changes took place as management all had worked with each other from previous companies. Not a bad thing but noticeable cultural changes when senior managers outside of the UK didn’t approve of what they saw as cultural imbalances in the office.

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere, supportive colleagues and team spirit

Cons

Too much focus on equality created inequality, Nepotism amongst senior management, which filtered down. Unfair grading and payscales, as we all discussed our pay.

It's who you know.. not what you know.

Business Analyst (Former Employee) - Southend-on-Sea, Essex - 4 February 2022

People don't really matter, results count is an apt moto. Everyone is just a number unless you get on with your management.Lots of good people in the company that just don't get recognised as managers are so focused on getting results for themselves at the cost of the true heartbeat of the company.If you want to advance your own skills and look after yourself it's fine. Don't expect any loyalty though.If you raise genuine concerns about managers it gets noted and don't expect any good to come from it. Poor performance is not dealt with and brushed under a carpet. Others have to deal with the extra work.

Pros

Free drinks, coffee tea and modern office

Cons

Some poor managers who feed of the results of their teams.
