Capgemini Invent reviews

Zero support from management - you can forget development reviews and a promotion means you continue doing the same tasks. Overworked support teams, nothing but deadlines. Never any help or beneficial changes to process/systems, just demands of more and more work to already stretched teams. Mental health responsibility is a joke. I’ve seen team members crying, working until 2am on a regular basis, distraught that there is no time for family. Systems are 10-15 years out of touch. There’s no agility, nobody addressing effectiveness or efficiency. Final numbers / reports are worryingly inaccurate due to poor setup, support and deadlines. Nobody really cares, so long as they are passed on to the next person by the right date.

- A lot internal processes, systems and overall governance is a bit of a mess. This makes admin, bidding for work and high quality delivery much harder than it should be and we lose a lot of work. - Strong performance sometimes comes secondary in end-of-year reviews to 'peacocking'. This encourages the wrong kinds of behaviour, and unfortunately this is quite widespread. - Pay isn't great compared to the industry. - Department specific: My area is led by a team of VPs (partners) who appear to be completely out of their depth, leading to a lack of direction and a lack of oversight for project delivery and bid work. - Department specific: There is limited responsibility or accountability taken at the top levels, meaning that it all falls on the more junior staff. This is true for bid outcomes, project delivery, utilisation, etc.
