Pros

Capgemini sd&m has a culture of developing people starting off university. Everybody goes to the whole process of software engineering, starting with programming. Programming skills are (still) very highly valued there, even though you need some consultant skills too. Senior colleagues are excellent and great for learning. Team is great overall.

Cons

Relatively low salary. You will definitely get more money in comparable positions elsewhere. You will have to work really hard if you want to reach senior positions. This will take you through a lot of learning though.

Pros

Very friendly culture and surrounded by lots of capable people. Chance to contribute if you are willing and able. Project Managers/Line Management good at being flexible in terms of hours as long as you deliver.

Cons

Promotions and appraisals process is opaque. Difficult to understand why some decisions made. Visibility within company and with peers is very important to allow promotion; i.e. just delivering at a very high level on your project work is not enough. The balance here is not quite right between core delivery and community contribution.

Pros

* Consulting in general provides good exposure to diverse corporate environments, industries, and working styles * Most V.P.'s and Senior Managers were strong and were liked * Opportunities to move groups and industries (if you so choose) * Opportunities to move to other metropolitan areas (if you so choose) * Some opportunity for international travel (if you so choose) * Good place to go if you don't need a lot of "care and feeding" with regards to career management or counseling (can be con as well) * Respectable vacation and benefits policies. Four weeks of vacation out of the gate.

Cons

* Way too much travel. Not enough attention to getting people staffed locally * Pace can be intense at times depending on client, Sr. management on the project, and whoever sold the project * Consulting in general has it's down sides and CG is no exception. Companies tend to hire out the work that they either can't or don't want to do. Thus sometimes you get put on bad projects. * Sometimes no choice in assignments. if you are on the beach and available, almost always you are going. Because of this, self -career management can be challenging. * During market downturns, Consultants are the first to go when corporations are making cuts. Thus I weathered many rounds of layoffs * Bonuses were weak compared to other companies * As with any firm/company a few challenging V.P.'s / Sr. Managers. * Some loss of the "Big 4" cache due to sale of E&Y Consulting division to French based Capgemini
