Pros
It’s fast paced – leading edge, tech savy and innovative. You get to work with leading companies and experts across a variety of industries – using your expertise and experience to design and develop solutions collaboratively. The support structures, personal development path and breadth of experience are second to none. You are encouraged to set your own goals and career ambition - whilst being provided with the environment to make them happen. There are fantastic people at Capgemini and I have made friends for life.
Kontras
The uncertainty of what you might go onto when one project finishes (nature of consulting) You do have to accept that you may have to work away from home 5 days a week. As well as the day job - you are expected to get involved in business development activities - for most this work has to happen outside of work hours
