Does anyone have a view on CapGemini's Marketing, Sales and Service Transformation practice?They seem to be recruiting heavily at the moment and i'm interested in joining a firm with a strong marketing strategy, brand/product positioning focus as a junior consultant (~2 years experience). My concerns are that Cap are too heavily focused on public sector and technology work (eg CRM systems). Are there any other players out there who are strong in the areas mentioned?Many thanks in advance.P.S I'm aware that many of the posts on this forum lead to a series of highly critical comments about firms outside MBB. I'm already aware of the problems Cap has had in the past but get the impression that things are improving.

I am also interested in this role but have the same reservations about the firms focus on Pub Sec/SI work.It would be good to get some feedback from current CG's in the MSST practice.Thanks

I am joining CG end of this month as a SC for their transformation unit. It took me a while to decide whether I should join CG. Reviews in this forum were not very positive but I follow a simple rule, its challenging to join a firm that is rising after a downturn. If you are good at what you do then you end up getting the right ingredients for success.Also CG is not a bad name and they do pay well.

NickWell done on securing a place with the firm. I have just sent my application so waiting to hear back.How did you find their recruitment phase and was it the standard Telephone > Partner > Offer route? I realise I may be jumping the gun slightly but would appreciate any insight.Thanks

I curently work at CG and have done for five years. I have been on one public project for 12 weeks and the rest have been non-I.T related performance imrovement type projects, all very interesting and different. Only my experience and opinion but things are turning around here and there is a real sense that CG is on the up.

I'd like to second Anon's post. I've been here for a few years as well, as a consultant in a number of different roles / service lines. A couple of trends worth being aware of:Yes, historically there has been a heavy reliance in Capgemini on public sector work - but that is now turning around, with several units now posting 60-70% non government revenues. We all read about the various woes befalling Western economies (sub-prime etc.) - while at the same time we receive various internal communications about a new Consulting-wide recruitment drive. This is due to consistently high utilisation rates over the past 6-9 months, which show no signs of falling or flattening, economic downturn or no.The latest Group-wide transformation, a major internal project led from Paris, has had excellent feedback from the industry press, which agree that we've got our focus right.Generally the vibe is positive and, as Nick Adams says the pay is generally good. However, I'd disagree that we're "on the up after a downturn" - overall performance has been pretty good in 2006 and 2007. The only challenge has been shifting the portfolio from public to private - which as I say, is finally genuinely happening.
