Had an unusually pleasant telephone interview. Unlike most interviews where you get off the phone and feel as though you are drained and didn't learn much if anything, the interviewer spent more than half the time explaining Capgemini to me.
The group interview was similar. You leave with a view on Capgemini. Often after I have received an offer I have asked to come back and interview the company, this time I didn't have to.
Their catch line "People matter, results count" is real. This isn't the sort of firm where cut and thrust is rewarded or people talk about 'screwing' the client. On the other hand, it is a big organization and the review and promotion processes feel like box ticking. It is also very much a French company. Manners are important. Client delivery excellence goes without saying. It is the bits around the edges that will determine your success.
