Capgemini It Consultant Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Nov 2008 (took 2 days)

Initially the company came to my school (Virginia Tech) to seek out potential employees at a bi-annual career fair. Pre-career fair I had research the company a little bit and was prepared to be interviewed. I went to the both and talked to one of their reps (a recent hire) and was invited to attend an info session. The info session was held in a student services building a few hours after the career fair, I had nothing better to do so I waited out near the meeting area doing homework. About that time the interviewers came and waited as well (outside the meeting room which was not avilable yet). While I sat there doing homework I was able to overhear all the representatives of Capgemini make derogatory and insulting remarks about many of the people that had stopped by their booth that day. I then attended the info session where they asked many very basic IT questions....many of the times other candidates would not answer, so I would answer. I then became known among the interviewers that I was the guy with all the answers. I was later called a month or two later to attend a one-on-one interview session for each of the two positions I was qualified for. The interview processed was hurried and often conducted by new hires in the company and people who were not adequately prepared to interview. In fact, I learned stories about their business process that kept me from wanting to work there. As an example, my interviewer told me of a time after recently being hired that he had to attended a business meeting for the new project he was working on. Minutes before meeting with the company, his superior told him that he was a "Security Specialist" and not to talk. My interviewer told me that he knew nothing of security and yet was listed and represented as the Security Expert. Not the type of company I would be proud of worker for.
