4. How valued do you feel by Capgemini?

From my time in Capgemini, I really feel apart of the company. The company is very large so within the Business Unit you may not get to involved. The thing is though if you want to get involved you can. Within the project team I felt I was valued very highly and it was recognised I had become a key part of the team.
