  • 9. Would you recommend Capgemini to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • They genuinely look after their employees.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Capgemini?
  • Do your research. Not just on how many employees we have, who the CEO is, etc. but actual research into what we do. Know what you want to do, do some research into the field, put the effort in to show you want to go into that area, and Cap will help you get there In the assessment days, be yourself, make sure you speak with other people, and it isn't all about how you are as an individual, it is how you work within a team, so bear that in mind! And take it from me, I didn't have any experience in programming, but a role came up and I learnt the necessary skills to get myself into the role. YOU and only you are in charge of career. It will be what you make of it.
