Avantages
The company culture and, specifically, the graduate program environment are excellent. Collaborative, open, honest and supportive senior managers, good working hours, interesting and varied roles depending on engagements. The social atmosphere is also great, as well as the salary. If you want to work in a dynamic, challenging environment with very bright and interesting people, this graduate program is excellent. Management are always open to feedback and ideas, and there is a strong emphasis on collaboration and innovation. It's easy to carve out your niche or expertise and I feel rewarded for the hard work I do.
Inconvénients
Engagements can be very different from each other- you may get a great role then move to something you don't find as interesting or challenging. There is also a load of internal work to complete as well as client work, which can sometimes be excessive but can be easily managed if flagged in time and organised properly. You also have to be prepared to travel often and stay away from home, often for the entire working week. However, the expense policy is generous and business travel is always comfortable, with travel times to client site taken into consideration. Honestly, there are hardly any cons for the Capgemini UK Consulting Graduate scheme.
