Pros

Salaries were top of the line till Kanbay was itself. After it was acquired and later became their FS Business Unit, salaries and growth immediately started showing stagnation.

Cons

Kanbay folks could never be integrated with Capgemini, they were always the outsiders. The only guy who benefited was the Australian owner who rebranded Kanbay around 2005 only to sell it 2 years later. I was part of 1500 folks who were laid off in 2009, who were told to "resign" to get proper relieving document and get 3 months salary as notice. It broke my morale and my self-confidence. The surprising part was that they came back with a job-offer within 3 months, which I declined. What kind of a organisation lacks a business view 3 months on the horizon, that it takes a risk of putting reputation at stake through lay-offs.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
