Capgemini reviews

1) it is just a staffing (body shopping) company. I worked for Capgemini FS. 2) No sense of structure in the entire org. 3) Once you are assigned a project, you will just remain a name in Capgemini's spreadsheet for billing purposes. 4) No real conversations with managers/colleagues 5) There is no overall culture in the organization. 6) To get promoted, you will have to grease up your boss, your boss' boss and so on, with no real guarantee. It is sheer luck and if your manager thinks that you are useful to him/her, then there is a chance. otherwise , forget about promotions 7) No real hike.Just lip service (1-1.5K per annum is the avg hike) 8) Colleagues will hold information from you, thinking that you might benefit from that piece of information. There is no sense of belonging to a real team. Everyone is working in silos towards their own benefit. 9) No new projects or contracts. All the contracts are rewards to their competitors, which is shameful.

First and foremost, good reviews shown are likely to be premeditated - ie. staff are asked/made to write positive reviews so as to improve their ratings on glassdoor as it used to be in the low 2s. There seems to be a spike in positive reviews in an orchestrated manner. Hence, do take positive reviews with a huge pinch of salt. If you’re just looking for a job that pays sufficiently, and career progression and learnings are not of importance to you, you may skip reading. Graduates are used as cheap resources for projects so that projects can be sold cheaply. The bulk of graduate’s salary is funded by the government because of the graduate programme scheme. Over promise in proposals or in their words to clients and under deliver (ie. no good qualified expertise placed on projects). Clients are always right and the welfare of staff does not matter. Project delays or issues are blamed on staff executing the project, when most of the time it is due to poor project management. Staff are expected work overtime to catch up. Projects are constantly delayed because of poor project management - ie. no good quality project managers. Zero career progression, your progression is based of how long you stay with the company and how much you engage with the management. Also, if you are good at talking, you will make it too. People who can speak well even without delivery capabilities are well appreciated, because sales is what brings in the money. Lack of good middle layer management to learn from (middle management is also almost non-existent). Lack of diversity in races and gender ratio within the company and in management. APAC region is free to run in whatever manner they want to - with zero strategic direction in place.
