Pros
1. Paid certifications. Capgemini Invent has tie-ups with top companies. You can do a lot different certifications you want. 2. Pay - If you are able to negotiate, they can pay fine.
Cons
1. Hire and Fire - Some new joiners were fired only after few weeks and months. Entire team was laid off for low utilization. They hire people thinking they will get clients and eventually ask the new hire to get clients. 2. No Communication - They fire people and teams (even guys higher up with 16 years of experience) and no communication or reason is provided. 3. No Salary Hikes - They have stopped salary hikes for 2023, even no hikes on promotion. The bonus will most likely be stopped. It's very messy as they don't have explanation and waiting for a detailed review by team in Europe. 4. No Clients - They don't have clients. They hire you and ask you to find a client or else they fire you or put you on PIP to get rid of you. 5. Lack of Vision - Its actually No Vision. The senior most guys don't know why decisions are taken as they are taken in Europe and the leaders in EU don't tell these guys in the US. 6. Run by Paris/France - The company is run by people in Europe. The team in the US don't even know basics and they don't feel shy saying in all hands calls that the decision came from Paris. 7. Micro-Management - They would micro-manage to see how much time you were online, on which day you entered what in your timesheets. Its gross out here. 8. Unprofessionalism - In his first 2023 all-hands, he said people who think they can't do consulting, please leave and we will try to make it easy exit. Didn't you check the person's capability when you hired them? And now after a few months you want to fire them without even thinking about their careers?
