Pros

The Global company is good but some of the bosses bring their typical Indian mentality to their management style. They will micromanage and bully the subordinates into working far beyond the mandatory 9.5 hrs a day, work on weekends, work when unwell, work on leaves, and speak very rudely and make personal statements, because according to their mentality, paying a salary to an employee, makes those employees their slaves. The processes at Capgemini India are extensive and will ensure that your work gets delayed. Everything takes a long time to get access or approval, and during all this delay, the employee will have to take the brunt for it. After all the work you put into the year, the annual performance appraisal is guaranteed to disappoint and not even enough to cover the increase in expenses that annual inflation causes. The leadership is probably quite comfortable knowing that their employees are struggling to make a living. The management has no empathy, neither for the employee or their family members unless it is a government mandated Covid situation.

Cons

Low pay, bullying from immediate boss, even awards mean nothing when it comes to retention, they just want the cheapest resource with the most slave-like mentality who will follow orders and not question the authority of the managers and leads.

Pros

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.
