Salary is good.

  • Salary - Good

Dislikes

You have to give interview to get into a projects. If you can not crack it you will be on bench and then after some months you have to forcefully get resigned by the HR. If you cannot perform well inside a project, some of the supervisor has the mentality to escalate you from the project without any warning or any discussion about your performance or withoany suggestions like where u need to focus or work on. Also will give some false allegations for escalation. If you get escalated from the project within ur probation period u will get escalate from the company. Need to change there policy who are having 1st time MNC experience.

Capgemini was the first company that I have started my career as Manual Functional Tester and the team was very supportive in every project and I must shout that IT helpdesk was very supportive and Cooperative if there is any issue raised like they follow up each day until it's done. I like the work-life balance in Capgemini, basically work depends on every project requirements.
