Pros

If you are an aspiring software engineer, do not join a consulting firm. They prey on people who are desperate to get their feet in the door, but it is not worth it. There are firms such as Cognizant and Revature have a poor reputation, but there are more places that fly under the radar and should also be criticized. Capgemini is one of those places. I was hired and titled as a software engineer. However, after I got out of orientation, I was given zero opportunities for software engineering for months on end. I was frequently messaging managers to try to help me get into a software project, and I was constantly getting ghosted. Because of this, I was forced to take other work that was not related to my title at all, with another manager that was extremely incompetent, just to try to keep my job. I was laid off anyways. I did not get any meaning work experience for my time here. Cons: Very poor management, Personally, I was constantly getting ghosted by management, and, when they weren't ghosting me, they were overall very incompetent. Extremely disorganized. Poor online management and UI, websites were change all the time, HR was hard to reach.

Cons

Actually follow up. I've asked mangers countless times, filled many surveys, and received almost zero communication.

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.
