Job security is there during COVID-19 Lockdown even there is no paycut in the salary. They managed well during this pandemic if we see the current no. of employees working in Capgemini. One thing where they can do better in this pandemic is providing laptop to the employees who are working in the city which is not their home town also in some projects I have heard that there manager helped some junior employee by providing 7-10k from the company's funds and this help is given to those employees who are working in the city which is not the employee home town. But this help is not given to all employees as it was not officially announced company policy where I got suffered in the initial days of the lockdown.

The one thing which is disasters in Capgemini is when you join the company as a fresher then you will never get a project with respect to the domain in which you were trained. I'll tell you my example, I was trained as a Java Full stack developer and after my training I have been allocated to the project where I need to do manual testing and HR put so much pressure saying that you cannot reject the project as you have signed the bond. Seriously at that point of time it looks like u.were just a name in the excel sheet. I have raised this issue in the company's HR meeting also but I know these giant never care the feedback which needs a change.

There is job security if you are performing average or above average too. The mentality/ culture of company is of service based. so as long as you have project , you are safe obiously but even if you are not on project then also you will enough oppurtunity to save your poaition.

Dislikes

In terms of salary and promotion , management says they doea not have anything in their hand. After covid they sets mind of employee of low to no incrwment. even if your project is doing well then also you wont have a good increment or in some cases low increment too.

1.Work-life balance was good since beginning of the project but recently we acquired one more project with the same strength in numbers. 2.Do hard work, management will give you promotion without any blockers. 3.Complete job security will be provided and training will be given to the bench candidates on new adaptive technologies 4.Overall company culture is good. 5.Company politics are there if you search with microscopic view.

Dislikes

The salary will never be adequate to what amount of work you deliver. On an average, the salary is 40-50% less compared other big service based MNC's
