Yves Seynaeve
Consultant
"Eight years ago I began as a consultant at Capgemini. For the past five years I've been occupied with testing and project management at clients. The main aim is to implement processes to enable the client to do better 'testing' and deliver qualitatively better test results."
"At Capgemini, you can count on plenty of variety. In quite a short period of time you can find out about all sorts of different projects, clients and sectors. What's more, there's the openness between consultants and management. Here you are always able to express your opinion or offer advice. New thinking is valued highly here. Furthermore, at Cap I've always been given opportunities to develop on my own initiative. Building up the testing service line is an example of that."
"I work at clients' premises four days a week. I work at Cap itself one day a week in order to continue my work on testing services. I do prospecting work, prepare tenders, visit existing and potential future clients, and attend to 'people management'. At Capgemini, we have a counselling system, under which every manager monitors a number of staff individually and closely. This results in very good support and guidance for all our consultants."
"Capgemini aims to allow their consultants to advance continually. It's important to us that people should assume their responsibilities rapidly and earn promotion. We've worked out the structures needed to that end. Thus, we have a 'Software Engineer Certification Board', at which all software engineers can obtain certification. The more skills you acquire, the more additional certifications you can get."
