Pros
  1. No quality work (It can be a con for some folks).
  2. Three-month notice period is negotiable in some cases. You can adjust your leaves during the notice period (again, depending on your manager).
  3. If you are coming from TCS, Infosys, Wipro, IBM, or similar big MNCs in India, never join Capgemini. You will feel frustrated with the processes and project types. If you have never worked in any MNC, then you can give it a chance.
  4. First-day confirmation.
Cons
  1. No good and long-running projects. You will test such crap that you will curse yourself for being in testing.

  2. Micromanagement. Your manager will keep bugging you always.

  3. Strict 9:30 hours policy in some projects. My project manager comes even if you miss 3 minutes in the total 9:30 duration.

  4. You will see no process anywhere. HR will not call you for discussion even after resignation.

  5. Manager's company. This means whatever your manager says, you have to do.

  6. No onsite. After joining, you have to wait 18 months for onsite. People come thinking it's a French company and they will get onsite, but there is nothing like that.

  7. Cheap politics everywhere. Employees are coming from different small companies. You will hardly find business etiquette in employees.

  8. Variable pay you get at the end of the financial year. It will be mostly 50 to 70%.

  9. Full and final settlement takes too long in comparison to other companies.

  10. Very high attrition. Most people join the company for only 1 or 2 years.

  11. Management thinks that they are paying employees a lot at Capgemini.

  12. Long bench period.

Advice to Management
  1. Don't do micromanagement.
  2. Improve your technical and business skills.
