It's not only Capgemini. Most of French digitalization is horrendous. We have a Social Security card (Carte Vitale) that you show when doing medical activities (so to speak). It could have been a great driver for centralized patient documentation (results, prescriptions, ...). What they did instead - a totally fucked up system nobody uses (including doctors and pharmacies) which was architected and coded by an intern with a liberal art diploma. Not only logging in is a shitshow but then you cannot add ANYTHING useful inside. Nothing. OK, this failed so now the govt decided to launch a new program (for the same thing) and nobody understands what this is is how it is supposed to work. At the same time, in Poland, I saw a perfectly well working system that centraizes everything (the public medical world sucks there but that's not the point). Why not reusing this instead of inventing a merdouille again? When COVID blew up, we had the luck to have a brand new exchange platform for schools. When I had to use it, my children said "oh, I did not know that word" when i started to yell on the screen. It is so bad that by just typing here I risk to break my keyboard. We have idiots in digitalization in France. I am sure other countries are the same but here this is a tradition since after the Minitel. If you can fuck it up, they will - with our taxes.

  don't think you'll find anything explicit. but these big french contracting companies are very well known for their technical incompetence. they are not tech companies, their number one priority is to land lucrative contracts and keep renewing them and growing them, executing them or worrying about the quality of the end product is an afterthought. the compensation in these companies is all the proof you need, most of the money is spent on 'business guys' and whole big ladder of them, projects on the technical side get staffed by who can accept the least pay regardless of skill. failed to get your diploma, great they can hire you for a big discount, have an art degree or anything else but know how to argue in a interview great you're hired. they hire such people by the shovel everywhere. they are not the only company that does it almost all the big and smaller ones. here are some example of job offers that you can translate, and keep in mind that even is you don't meet almost any criteria they can still hire you if you accept a small enough price. I know a few of them in person. - https://fr.indeed.com/q-capgemini-reconversion-professionnelle-emplois.html?vjk=beee9e741513536e https://fr.indeed.com/q-capgemini-reconversion-professionnel... - https://jobs.capgemini.com/fr-fr/job/Reconversion-Professionnelle-en-Informatique-Le-BOURGET-HF/755047201/ https://jobs.capgemini.com/fr-fr/job/Reconversion-Profession... these a few example but search in indeed and other hiring webites and you'll find them spamming this kind of offers everywhere. having a career as a tech guy in these companies is a dead end, and a recipe for depression.
