Pros
  1. No gender bias, physically challenged bias, etc.
  2. Good projects in Europe.
  3. Initial pay package is generally good.
  4. Sort of a cut above the regular Indian IT services company.
Cons
  1. Poor work-life balance.
  2. Not employee-centric management – not even a bit. One would expect some balance here as Cap has French roots.
  3. Crazy pre-sales team that makes unrealistic commitments to European clients; you know they are going to hold you to your word/contract literally!
  4. Mid-senior management is not very mature.
  5. Many project managers have been working for several years in the company and have a turf attitude.
Advice to Management
  1. Run through your mid-senior management and get some mature candidates there.

  2. The training material for management is all in-house. PMI/PRINCE2 have more mature material, and managers should be trained/certified in these. Trying to cripple employees to retain them is not a great idea. A progressive, involved career growth plan is a better way to do this.
