Capgemini reviews

While the fast paced work environment always has its side of keeping the adrenaline rush, it takes a huge toll on work- Life Balance. A lot of client holidays might not be observed and hence one will be required to work even when your support staff isn't around. The other way around, if the client works on a day that is holiday for CG, one will still be required to work as client commitment takes precedence. The senior management duly promises another day off, but it is largely forgotten. One is always caught in a war between client commitment vs Capgemini commitment. At the end of the year during performance reviews, you might be penalized for not doing CG requirements, even if you met the client requirement

The constant preaching of the corporate values that they can't actually adhere themselves to. Lack of meaningful work in my chosen profession yet senior management blamed staff for this. Excuse me?! It's not my job to bring in new customers and clients. Constantly trying to shoehorn staff into different business areas which do not match the person's skills. Having to continually chase for project codes and dealing with the wrath of HR when they weren't available for you to input into the timesheet system. Senior business management are quick to tell you what you need to write on the department polls so that they look good, anything else (your own opinion) isn't considered to be the Cap way. Senior managements attitude in regions such as Inverness is terrible, very aggressive bordering on bullying. Too long on bench and they will quickly find a way to get rid of you, typically through a very biased redundancy scheme in which they just make up criteria that has no relevance (you failed to fill out your time sheet etc).
