Capgemini reviews

Bullying is rife on some larger programmes where the focus is on delivering against milestones no matter what. Work life balance is non existent on a lot of assigments too with 4+ days on site the norm. We've been told not asked to work 5 days a week and possibly weekends on a failing programme for a major client. Collaboration between the SAP and other non techie consulting teams does not exist. SAP run everything with the transformation and change teams tagged on as an afterthought and treated as lame partners almost like contracted suppliers. Programme directors can be viscious and don't expect any support from your bosses. Pay is poor and HR is a joke. As a senior experienced consultant I have no say as to which assignments I would like to work on which seems odd to me. Really sexist, This company has fewer women in senior roles due to the nature of the culture and the poor work life balance. I have noticed quite a bit of racism too with the teams on projects segregated along racial lines, with very little socialising. I also saw frequent instances of asian guys being talked down and belittled. Their values and actions do not match, one of these values 'fun' is in short supply.

Countless. People who don't have any knowledge of the projects are sitting higher up the order doing nothing. Freshers are treated as dogs, all of them are either thrown into a support project(they dont have any development projects, during induction itself HR starts telling you about incidents etc etc) or they are given documentation work. 9hrs30mins to be completed in office, i guess this is because this company doesn't do any development work. They don't have any process, exit process was a pain. Nobody in 3 months notice period told me what all approvals were required, i was lucky to get all one day before, i saw few people crying at exit counter as there approvals were still pending. Canteen's food was pathetic, i never got a clean table to eat, people almost everyday fight for spoons. Cab services were again pathetic, a female if leaving at 10:30pm will get drop till home, but a guy will have to wait for 11:30 cab service for a home drop, and if he books for 10:30 pm service he will be dropped at as nearby station which will increase your travel time by twice. People sitting there for 10-15 years doing nothing, they don't have technical expertise nor they know how to manage. There were teams not individuals who just come to office to be on personal calls or to be in the canteen. The account which i worked for didn't feel like a single team, it was like different companies sitting under one roof with blame games between the teams. Same used to happen with onsite counterparts who were happy in saving there seats at onsite, rather then helping the offshore team. Interview process is again pathetic, as higher ladder doesn't have technical expertise they don't know whom to hire.
