This is the first time I've read any Vault postings since starting at Cap and I felt that it was important that I share my point of view since it differs from the general tone of the message board.
I've been with the firm for about 6 months having previously graduated #1 in my class from a top 20 MBA program. I have 14+ years industry experience, a PMP cert and several technical certs. I was hired as a Sr. Consultant into the retail and consumer products practice.
I chose Capgemini for a few reasons:
1. I believed that the company was firmly headed in the right direction and the time was right to get in at the beginning stage of a dramatic turn-around
2. The new geographic organizational model would allow me to consult and not, in return, burn me out on the travel
3. I was able to work in my industry of choice - retail
4. The compensation package was competitive with my other offers
After 6 months, I must say that I don't regret my choice in the slightest. I've worked on 4 projects thus far and each one has been with talented team members, senior client executives and in each case we delivered tangible business value above and beyond our consulting fees. In fact, we received follow-up work with all 4 clients totaling several million dollars.
For the quality of life I have, given the reduced travel and the exciting nature of the engagement work, it would take an absolutely phenomenal offer from another firm to entice me to leave. So far, I??ve received 2 job offers from clients since joining the firm and happily turned down both.
Just one current consultant's perspective. |
