Capgemini

• Amazing starting salary for someone right out of college.
• Started remote.
• Easy opportunity to get into the tech field.
• Easy interview and onboarding.
• Friendly coworkers.

• They don't put you in a tech track that fits your background.
• You go in knowing C# and they expect you to learn all of Java Fullstack in 4 weeks.
• Little to no communication between leadership; it always seems like they don't know what we are up to.
• I asked 6 people if I would stay remote. They all said yes until one day I got an email saying I was being forced to move 10 hours away. My mentor even told me to buy the house I was looking at. What if I had finished going through with it? They need to be more clear about this.
• They force you to get certifications out of your own pocket and make you go through a completely convoluted process to get reimbursed that takes a long time.
• The people in charge of you have only been working there a half year longer than you and barely know what's going on themselves.
• They preach support during the hiring process, but I've had none whenever facing any issue. I have to rely on Google to solve or learn anything.
• I have been working 7 days a week since I started to try and stay caught up. I've still fallen behind because the information is too much to absorb in such a small amount of time.

I know you are probably just gambling with your hires, but it can be a big waste of time for people like me.

I could have been applying elsewhere.

Spend more time training and developing your employees before forcing them to produce things they don't even know how to do. Then, be surprised when it takes them a while because they have to learn it step by step on their own time.

When you assign mentors, make sure they actually know how to do what they are mentoring.

My mentor doesn't know Java Fullstack at all. How is that helpful?

I say clean up and organize your training process because we spent more time troubleshooting broken demos than actually learning anything.

Be more transparent during hiring because everything I was ever told was very misleading!
