Why Capgemini Stands Out

At Capgemini, we are committed to Diversity & Inclusion, actively fostering a workplace where everyone can bring their whole selves to work.

We strive to create an environment that promotes a positive work-life balance. Through our New Normal initiative, we aim to embed hybrid working practices into our daily operations, making flexible working arrangements a standard reality for our employees.

Employee wellbeing is crucial to our organization. We recognize that a healthy and happy workforce is essential for achieving our organizational goals. To support wellbeing, we have trained 'Mental Health Champions' across all business areas and invested in wellbeing applications such as Thrive and Peppy.

Collaboration and Innovation

We believe in building partnerships with our clients. Utilizing our Accelerated Solutions Environment (ASE), you will gain insights into customer needs and challenges, demonstrate innovative solutions, and collaboratively solve problems, discovering unexpected answers together.

Learning and Development Opportunities

There is a wealth of knowledge to gain at Capgemini, with numerous avenues for learning. Unique training opportunities are available, including the chance for some consultants to attend conferences in international locations. Collaboration is encouraged across all teams, fostering a supportive environment for growth.

Corporate Social Responsibility

We are dedicated to leveraging technology for positive social impact, working to reduce our carbon footprint and enhance digital accessibility for all. We take this commitment seriously, having been recognized as one of the world's most ethical companies by the Ethisphere Institute for ten consecutive years. Joining Capgemini means becoming part of a team that prioritizes doing the right thing.

We offer a competitive remuneration package that includes flexible benefits options tailored to your personal circumstances, along with a variable component based on grade, company performance, and individual contributions.
