Pros

Nothing after seeing highly unethical practices of company during Covid. They screw peoples careers and HR, Managers collude to keep there job safe and screw technical employees, - There practices affect mental health of an employee to such an extent that he will start hating the dreaded jobs and life for getting into such an org. - Middle managers are worst non technical and non creative dumb humans. There work is just to screw the employees.

Cons

- Most of the projects are of third grade which are run my mediocre management. - Highly unethical organization. The most unethical practice of all are done with people who are in bench. Bench manager forces everyone to find a project or look for job outside otherwise HR will call and ask to put down papers every day in a call . They did that too a lot of people. Now when someone finds a job who is already in bench and ask for a release, they are asking for 2 lakh rupees to give an early release otherwise they are asking to serve the notice period. If you do not have anything they are firing you with notice of a month to 45 days. - Mental health is joke for them. I have seen putting people through so much pressure even during times like covid. Managers yell during daily calls just to show they are managers. Torture employees to work from Bangalore just because he wants it. One of the manager screamed at a guy at night to be in bangalore at the time of Covid. He literally used the words that i don't care if you live or die i need you in Bangalore. - Managers are not only non technical but they don't even know what there direct reportes do in the projects. - Projects do not get renewed and people are removed cleverly with the help of HR. - Highly unethical practices done during the times of Covid-19. People where not given salaries initially and then they where fired stating they are not good technically. - They hired a team mate one week before the project date is going to get over and sent him to bench. - Salary hikes are bad same as any other organization but here they take the process to whole new level. Whole quarter managers talk about promotions and then come back stating you are not ready yet. Prepare an automation script. - HR is one of the worst function. They don't reply for any queries and in meeting if you complain about managers they are the first person to call them and update with name of the employee. Fun fact is Capgemini is an organization with high ethics, - In Covid-19 they took it to whole new level . They fired employees without giving whole 90 days pay. Also blamed there management inefficiencies to win proper projects on employees stating they are incompetent. - One employee was on bench for a months time and was getting forced to put papers. Once offer was received they started telling the employee to serve notice period on bench or pay the price for early release. Within two days there HR policy changed. - Managers are liars with no technical skills. Our account managers was not aware of what the business actually was and there was no interaction with client, They are puppets who scream of automation and cloud but don't know themselves the skin of technology that they actually own.

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
