12,480 Hours of Growth, Teamwork, and Trust

“10,000 hours are what it takes to master a skill.” – Malcolm Gladwell

Since joining Capgemini six years ago, I’ve dedicated approximately 12,480 hours to building, maintaining, and refactoring software using Angular. While I may not yet consider myself an “expert” by Gladwell’s definition, the maturity I’ve developed—especially during my time on Manufacturing sector — has been shaped by working alongside an exceptional team.

We began as a team of five talents. From day one, we understood our roles, trusted each other’s strengths, and consistently pushed one another to grow. We always remembered that we were teammates that would share both successes and the challenges together. Whatever the outcome with the client, it was always a Capgemini result, not an individual one.

Capgemini placed its trust in us, and we embraced that trust as a guiding principle. With the support of our leaders, we pursued growth—not just individually, but collectively. Capgemini is built on a foundation of mutual trust and shared development.

We are who we are thanks to the team around us.

What advice would you give to someone who is joining Capgemini?

You’re Not Alone: Ask Questions and Seek Support

Never hesitate to ask.
Reach out to your leaders, they’re always willing to support you.

Identify your Engagement Manager: they are your main point of contact for resolving questions that go beyond your current project. Whether you need guidance, support, or just a conversation to gain clarity, remember that you’re surrounded by people who want to help you grow.

The first step toward progress is raising your hand.

How does Capgemini prepare you to take on new roles, responsibilities, and to develop new skills?

Your Growth Begins with Access to Knowledge

We offer access to a wide range of courses and learning materials to help you begin the career path that interests you most.
Once you reach a certain level of professional maturity, there are also certification plans available to help you solidify your skills and move to the next level.

Investing in your development is part of our commitment to you.

How do you collaborate with colleagues from different teams and countries?

Freedom with Respect: A Value That Defines Us

I’ve always strived to act with the value of Freedom—expressing myself with independence, creativity, and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Above all, I’ve done so with respect and tolerance toward other teams, recognizing and valuing our differences as a strength within a global and collaborative environment.

At Capgemini, freedom isn’t just about thinking differently, it’s about doing so with respect.

Why would you recommend working at Capgemini?

Stability with a Forward-Thinking Vision

I would recommend working at Capgemini because of the stability it offers. With over 50 years in the market, its legacy speaks volumes about the potential it provides for professional growth.

Capgemini has proven to be a solid company over time, while also showing the ability to adapt, innovate, and evolve in a fast-changing tech landscape. This blend of experience and forward-thinking makes it an ideal place for those looking to build a meaningful and long-term career.

At Capgemini, stability isn’t static, it’s a platform for growth.
