Pros

Opportunity to work in a large project with globally renowned companies. Opportunity to work with the latest technologies like Docker, Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Elastic Search etc

Kontras

For a consultancy that focuses on delivering software solutions to clients, engineers are truely undervalued. The pay is bad. Graduate salary starts at around £26k for all regions (including London...) and pay rises are usually 3%-7% (anything higher than 6% is pretty lucky). There is so much demand for Software Engineers in the market, yet Capgemini keeps their salaries low, even for experienced developers. It is well below market rate which is causing all the good engineers to leave. After leaving Capgemini, I increased my salary by 200% in 2 years, I wouldn't get anything close if i was to stay. Engineers are in high demand right now, you are worth more.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Kontras

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
