Pros

There are snacks and drinks. There are some nice people.

Cons

Little more than staff augmentation firm Not a great place for a ux designer since clients don't want to pay for UX or usability testing. Clients can be nasty to you and nobody will do anything about it. You are more of a wireframe monkey. There's no culture. There's no mentorship or training for ux designers. The focus is on billing and revenue, not on training, mentoring or growing skills. Projects can be very boring and NOT creative. If you end up on the bench for more than a month, they will lay you off. Don't take anything your manager says at face value. They don't like when you question things.

Pros

Nothing. Only thing I like is they offered a very good hike in salary when I joined.

Cons

My interview was on May 28th, and I was selected and the HR person told you will get offer letter tomorrow. And the next day I got a call from a lady from recruitment team and asked for my details.and told she is processing the offer and will release it tomorrow. from that day onwards I was waiting for the offer letter and to put resignation in my company. No mails, no response. I mailed the HR asking for update once in 2 weeks. keeping my recruiter in CC. My recruiter girl is very rude and she is not behaving professionally.She shouted to me asking why you are keeping CC me and always mailing like that. And I was chasing to get my offer letter. One day she called me and asked when can I join, I said I have 3 months notice period, so calculating my notice period I told if I put resignation today October 2nd will be my LWD and I need a week time so I will join on Oct 7th. Hearing this she started shouting and warned me "I will withdraw your offer , if u cant join on Oct 2nd". Was it right? Was this the right way to communicate to a candidate, that too to a senior level candidate? . Then atlast I got my offer on July 2nd and it was mentioned in the offer letter my joining date is Oct 2nd. I accepted the offer. The day came to join Capgemini on Oct 2nd. I went for the on boarding at 9 AM. It was a very time consuming process and at 6 PM, they are giving the original offer letter to each of the candidate and my name was not called for the same. I asked them then they were saying Some background verification is pending so your onboarding will be on next week. I was very angry and disappointed. They simply wasted my whole day. HR person was not at all answering to my queries. He was saying "Call to your recruiter", Its my faith, that good for nothing girl didnt mentioned her mobile number in any of the emails. I was very much disappointed and went back home. I sent her a mail keeping all in CC, asking for her mobile number then she replied her number after 2 days. She told me next week next week like that it delayed for almost a month. And I joined again on Oct 25th. I was jobless, no pay for a month and Capgemini didnt offered me any joining bonus or anything. On 25th Oct, every body got their buddy details, but u know only me didnt get my recruiter (super girl) was going to her home town. so she didnt gave me the buddy details. without knowing anything I was roaming there for a week. Then atlast got my buddy. :( From buddy, came to know that assigned to a project in a very far location. No value for women. I am a married woman. This is the worst experience I had in my career life. They will assign projects without informing us,No calls, nothing. When we check mails we came to know that we are assigned to this and this project. After doing all the arrangements only they will mail us. For me the project location was very far, I have to travel around 6 hours daily to and fro that too in Bangalore. I requested everybody, even the upper level management but they never pay attention to my needs. I am resigning from Capgemini because of these reasons. This is the 3rd company in my career, And I never experienced this much in my career. So I decided to quit just after 6 months.

Pros

- Fantastic people at the staff level (consultant, senior consultant, managing consultant) with good ppl at Principle and VP level (if you know them) - ability to work on a variety of projects (for some ppl) - Collegial environment where people genuinely like each other and hang out after work hours - A lot of client-facing roles for lower level staff members, and ability to "own" workstreams early and often, regardless of level - Though pay is not on par with other management consulting firms, is still pretty good generally speaking - Work/life balance can be good sometimes, esp compared to peers (though it depends on project) - Overall Capgemini brand is surprisingly good (externally), though most ppl don't know we have a separate "strategy & transformation" practice (Capgemini Consulting)

Cons

- Underpaid compared to competition, esp. post-MBA hires (Managers often get paid less than Senior Consultant levels post MBA at competitor firms) - No control over staffing or working on areas you are interested in. You get staffed based on what's available, regardless of how aligned it is to what you want or your skill sets - VERY high attrition (close to 50%). leadership doesn't seem to care about ppl, as they are just cogs in the wheel. You are not a person, you are a resource. Part of joining is to avoid the feel of being a number in a huge org like IBM, but even in a smaller 200 person practice it happens. There are some leaders that care, but thats not the norm...This results in high attrition and losing the good ppl that were somehow recruited. Losing good people sucks and causes other good ppl to leave - strong downward spiral that has kept the company from growing - Chase shiny objects. ppl chase sales wherever they come. whether its good or bad work. sometimes you're on fantastic projects, most of the time youre "doing your time" in a less than ideal situation - Crappy equipment, tools and benefits. 4 year old lenovos that break monthly and no tools outside standard office suite
