Pros

Capgemini has time flexibility and is better for management-related professionals.

Cons

The company doesn't invest in classroom training for freshers, mostly. The reason is that it provides classroom training to freshers hired from colleges, but for off-campus hires, there is no training. Generally, every big company gives training to freshers when they are hired.

The company is full of technical support projects where the technical learning scope is very limited, and the work culture is hectic.

NO/YES for relocation charge: This company rarely provides relocation reimbursement if an employee comes to the bench and is asked to relocate to another company location. For freshers, either off-campus or campus-hired, there is no relocation reimbursement system at Capgemini.

There is a fresher promotion policy that is fixed for the first 3 years (B.Sc, BCA) graduates and 2 years for engineering personnel. The hike is constant irrespective of performance. For experienced people, the annual hike is 3-4% based on performance.

There is no separate benefit (monetary) apart from the package defined in the offer.

Advice to Management

Company management should focus on:

  • Providing basic benefits like equal technical training to campus-hired and off-campus-hired.
  • Bringing development projects with scope for technical learning.

When a company decides to relocate a professional or a fresher, how can it be that the person bears the charges of relocation, including travel and initial settlement in the new joining location?

Some policies (monetary), like fresher promotion, medical benefits, and shift allowance, have not been revised for many years, and the amount defined in the policy is the same as it was long ago.
