Capgemini Reviews

Pros

good work and life balance. You can choose your career path. The assignments are not compulsory to take and you can deny if you have other opportunity in pipeline.

Cons

The company follow typical onshore offshore model. Still it's presence is more at onshore. So lot of dependency on pnshore folks.

Pros

Flexible timings,Okay Onsite opportunities,located in main cities in india and hence easy to relocate.

Cons

No proper management
No good projects
management hardly listens to their subordinates
Role is mostly drivn by requirement at hand but not based on the interest and skill level f the employee

Advice to Senior Management

give more importance to subordinates
Ensure that people who are working at clients are treated properly

Pros

1. Work Life balance
2. No Swipe in and Swipe out
2. Can negotiate for good salary at the time of joining

Cons

1. Ineffective leadership within the organization (atleast at Enterprise Application unit)
2. Pathetic Onsite travel policies. They expect the employee to fund the organization for onsite travels
3. No direction where they want to take this company to
4. On one hand associates are on bench in FS practice and on other than they hire at Non-FS practice. When questioned as to why do not use the bench empployees within FS for Non-FS project, simple answer that these are 2 different entities. Though in most of the leadership meeting, they try to convey that we are ONE Capgemini.

Looking at the way the organization worked, i decided to move out of it within one year of joining it
