Pros

- Freshers are given a lot of importance and they r trusted even for giving important parts of work. - Good workforce with a lot of knowledge. - Well known name in the market. - Lot of stress on knowledge sharing which was is what I liked particularly. - Process are followed religiously. - Good onsite opportunities if you wait for sometime.

Cons

- Appraisals suck. Pay packages are way below market standards. - Management prefers employees who can put in 12-14 hours everyday. - If you get stuck in an HSBC account project, it is impossible to get out of it. - Lack of technically challenging work. less stress on technology. - Bureaucratic atmosphere in some projects - whatever manager says is right, argument will not be good for your health. - The managers prefer to have lots of sycophants around them.

Pros

1. Good Compensation 2. Global Company 3. Global Brand 4. Good office locations 5. Good people 6. Good technology insights

Cons

1. Customers have to deal with multiple practices and infighting (CC vs. TS vs. OS) vs. one-stop shopping for solutions 2. Management is vintage 1950's - authoritarian and dictatorial - do it my way or else! 3. Entrepreneurialism is discouraged 4. VP are the only one with good ideas - few ideas are accepted from lower ranks 5. Business as Unusual is a joke. People hired with specialized skills are then homogenized to look/act like everyone else 6. Very senior people are coerced to perform just like people coming out of school, marginalizing their depth of experience, expertise, interests. 7. VPs manage by fear and intimidation vs. building trust and coaching 8. CapGemini will hit a plateau soon and will be unable to grow due to archaic management practices 9. Financial in recent years has done by massive cost cutting in lack of investment, which will soon be showing up via the lack of long-term growth (hidden by short-term cost cutting)

Pros

At a senior level, apparently, there's more flexibility in technology choice as we as more opportunities to work on site. Being a junior though, I was tossed around in several different technologies in a two year span which left me feeling very disillusioned with the work atmosphere.

Cons

No lack of transparency in the organization. Regionalism prevails. Favoritism towards employees from the manager's former company. Work life balance is skewed. It's just work. No life.
