Pros

International Company, loads of career opportunities. Centralised IT-Support. Slow but reliable business processes. Company phone & laptop may be used for private purposes. Travel time is counted as work time (this rule differs from division to division). Usually one week of training every year (only 2/3 counted as work time though, again this rule differs from division to division)

Cons

If your unlucky, you are five days a week away from home. Your are forced to use Hotels approved by Capgemini when working on-site with a client. Sometimes you have no choice of accomodation at all. The approved Hotels are ok, but not great. Change of job position between different divisions and/or countries is almost impossible. Hardware and software is outdated. A premium has to be paid for company phones other than a blackberry. Travel booking and reimbursement is the employee responsibility. It's quite buerocratic.

Great ppl to work with, very collaborative environment. Great benefits, WLB, and paid time off.

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.

Cons

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.
