What You’ll Love About Working Here

Client engagements give you the opportunity to work with our leadership and experienced consulting management, where you can learn from them, challenge them and accelerate your hands‑on experience, delivery capability and industry insights. You’ll learn how we write compelling client propositions, structure and lead high‑profile transformation, and gain hands‑on exposure to leading technologies, often taking an idea from a concept to a vision, to strategy and then execution.

Our consultants are formally trained from industry experts on management consulting and client delivery and we provide a host of opportunities for learning and certification through internal and partner led programmes from AWS, Google, Microsoft, ServiceNow etc. Capgemini Invent has a unique training environment just outside of Paris called ‘Les Fontaines’, where we can immerse ourselves in thought‑leadership, share knowledge and build capabilities which will help us and our clients to succeed.

We hold monthly showcases of our digital transformation initiatives, sharing knowledge and showing off how the power of technology is impacting our clients. There are also regular leadership connect sessions that will give you a different, more relaxed setting to meet up in the office to hear from the leadership, meet colleagues and discuss the trends and insights within the market. There are many social opportunities such as monthly team drinks to connect face‑to‑face with the wider team over a few drinks in the city and team days are always a chance to connect with the team, have fun and learn something new.
