Capgemini Invent reviews

Poor compensation. Once you get into the company with a package don't expect it to rise fairly as per market standard. People who joined with me faced the same, at one stage our experience was more then out salary (in Lakhs) If you get into one project and are looking to move to a different project, its all in the hands of your manager and they rarely show any interest in that. Would not let you go out easily. Fresher do not get their say to work on a particular project/technology. The guy might have wished to work on Java/.Net/SAP etc. he may end up working in a project where Mainframe is running. No one cares and you would have to fight like hell to get out of it if you want. Some managers are totally incompetent and take resources as their owned property (specially freshers) . Some of the projects are quite boring as well.

Engagements can be very different from each other- you may get a great role then move to something you don't find as interesting or challenging. There is also a load of internal work to complete as well as client work, which can sometimes be excessive but can be easily managed if flagged in time and organised properly. You also have to be prepared to travel often and stay away from home, often for the entire working week. However, the expense policy is generous and business travel is always comfortable, with travel times to client site taken into consideration. Honestly, there are hardly any cons for the Capgemini UK Consulting Graduate scheme.
